CADD Solis Pumps among OEM and distributors

The Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VHA RPOE Network Contracting Office 1) is seeking to procure specific CADD-Solis medical equipment and related services exclusively from ICU Medical Inc. and its authorized distributors. The procurement will utilize streamlined acquisition procedures under FAR 12.6 and FAR 13.104, with the intention of maximizing competition among a limited vendor pool. The solicitation includes three CADD-Solis Ambulatory devices, three medication safety software licenses, one onsite PharmGuard version upgrade service, three CADD-Solis AC adapters with power cords, and three pole mount adapters. The contracting opportunity falls under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments. Interested parties may contact Contracting Specialist Manases Cabrera via email, with the deadline for potential responses set for March 20, 2025.

This pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for the procurement. The total quantity of equipment is relatively small, with three units of most items and one service upgrade. Since the items are exclusively available from ICU Medical Inc. and its authorized distributors, the solicitation will not be posted on SAM.gov. The procurement is subject to specific VA Acquisition Regulation prohibitions regarding gray market and counterfeit items, specifically VAAR clauses 852.212-71 and 852.212-72. The final acquisition strategy remains at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, who will evaluate responses and determine the most appropriate procurement approach. While no specific award value is mentioned, the specialized medical equipment suggests a potentially significant contract value for the Veterans Health Administration.
