Cryosurgical Unit

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is conducting market research to procure a cryosurgical unit for the Loma Linda Healthcare System. The procurement seeks a cryosurgical system specifically designed for interventional pulmonary bronchoscopic applications, with critical technical requirements including compatibility with robotic bronchoscopes and the ability to perform cryo applications on peripheral pulmonary lesions. Respondents must submit a capabilities statement addressing draft salient characteristics, business size status, manufacturer details, and compliance with subcontracting limitations. While referencing an Erbe USA, Inc. Vio cart and Erbecryo 2 System as a benchmark, the VA is open to equivalent products that meet specifications. Interested vendors must submit responses via email to Bridgett.Sharma@VA.gov by March 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time.

The procurement falls under NAICS category 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. There are no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, indicating it is open to a broad range of contractors. The RFI does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but the detailed technical requirements suggest a sophisticated medical equipment procurement. The VA's primary objective is to gather comprehensive market intelligence to inform future acquisition decisions, with a focus on finding a cryosurgical system that meets precise technical and operational specifications. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities, manufacturing readiness, and compliance with federal contracting requirements, including Buy American Act conformance and subcontracting limitations.
