6910--CPR Manikins Brand Name or Equal

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking to procure CPR Manikins through a presolicitation notice designated as "Brand Name or Equal." The procurement falls under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6910 for Training Aids, indicating these manikins will serve as medical training equipment. The solicitation will follow streamlined procedures outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 12.6 for commercial items, with provisions and clauses effective through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2024-02 published December 22, 2023. The place of performance is designated as the Salem VA Medical Center in Salem, Virginia. Responses to this presolicitation are due by July 2, 2025, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, with Contract Specialist Kenneca Crump serving as the point of contact at Kenneca.Crump@va.gov.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricting competition to small businesses that meet the size standard of 1,000 employees or fewer under the applicable NAICS code. The solicitation document does not identify any incumbent contractors or specify potential award values or budget ranges for this procurement. No specific quantities of CPR manikins are detailed in the available documentation, nor are timelines for delivery or performance periods established at this presolicitation stage. The "Brand Name or Equal" designation suggests the government may have identified specific manufacturer models as acceptable while allowing equivalent alternatives from other manufacturers. Additional details regarding quantities, pricing, and performance requirements will likely be provided in the formal solicitation document that will follow this presolicitation notice.
