The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in White River Junction, Vermont is procuring one XSensor Technology Corporation ForeSite SS Tablet + 1 LX100:36.36.02 pressure mapping system for use in high-complexity clinics including ALS and spinal cord injury units. This standalone medical device will assist with pressure mapping for wheelchair-dependent and bed-bound patients and features advanced healthcare technology capabilities such as enhanced privacy with password protection, wireless sensor capabilities, high-resolution pressure mapping, and seamless clinical integration. The solicitation is structured as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Notice under FAR 13.106-1 guidelines with a brand-name-only purchase justification. The evaluation will be based on lowest price among qualified offerors, and all responses must be submitted by September 24, 2025, at 16:30 Eastern Time. The procurement follows a straightforward acquisition approach since the device will not be connected to the VA's medical system and will not transmit patient identifiers.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside competition that is specifically limited to two OEM-authorized distributors: AB Martin Services Inc. and Hokte, LLC. The estimated purchase value for this single-unit procurement is $12,718.00, with the award going to whichever authorized distributor submits the lowest-priced quote. The solicitation represents a standalone purchase of one pressure mapping system that will be delivered to the VA Medical Center located at 163 Veterans Drive in White River Junction, Vermont. Performance will occur at this Vermont facility where the equipment will be deployed in clinical settings to support patient care for individuals with mobility limitations. The competition is structured to ensure only qualified, OEM-authorized small business distributors can participate in this specialized medical equipment procurement.
