Cryosurgical Unit

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA VHA) is seeking to procure a cryosurgical unit for the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System through a competitive solicitation. The specific requirement is for a medical equipment system compatible with a robotic bronchoscope, capable of performing cryo application on peripheral pulmonary lesions. The preferred equipment is the Erbe USA, Inc.'s Vio cart and Erbecryo 2 System, though equal products will be considered. The solicitation will be evaluated using a lowest-priced technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with vendors required to submit an Authorized Distributor Letter from the original equipment manufacturer. Quotes must be submitted electronically by April 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, with a required response addressing the Buy American Certificate and confirming domestic end product status.

The solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS Category 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing. The contract anticipates a 120-day delivery timeline from the award date, with performance to occur at the Loma Linda, California facility. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single Firm-Fixed Price award for the cryosurgical unit. The procurement falls under Product Service Classification 6525 for medical imaging equipment and supplies. Vendors must carefully review the solicitation documents, particularly the Buy American Certificate, which requires detailed accounting of domestic content percentages for end products and critical components. This procurement represents a targeted medical equipment acquisition to enhance the VA's diagnostic and treatment capabilities.
