About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, specifically the Birmingham VA Medical Center, awarded contract 36C24726P0389 to O.R. Elder, Inc., a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for $398,000 on March 6, 2026. The award covers the procurement of two Unity Vitreoretinal Cataract System (VCS) units from Alcon to replace an obsolete PHACO system that has been in service since 2018 and experienced operational failures. This sole source acquisition was justified under SDVOSB authority, as the Alcon Unity VCS possesses unique integrated capabilities unavailable from competing manufacturers, enabling both high-performance vitreoretinal and cataract surgical procedures on a single platform. The contract represents a fixed-price supply purchase order with no competing offers solicited, as the market research and acquisition justification confirmed the equipment's unique technical characteristics and the contractor's responsibility to meet the VA's surgical equipment requirements.
