About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is seeking to procure Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Devices through a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The agency intends to contract with SigmaStim Domestic LLC for two ECT devices and complete starter kits, justifying the sole source approach by stating that SigmaStim is the only manufacturer capable of meeting their specific requirements. The required devices must offer unique one and four knob modes, monitor seven specific physiological parameters, and activate impedance testing of all monitoring leads - capabilities that alternative FDA-approved devices cannot provide. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements may submit responses to Leah Smith at leah.smith@va.gov by July 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time, though the government will only consider these responses to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole source contract.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and specifically targets SigmaStim Domestic LLC, located at 19799 SW 95TH AVE, SUITE B, TUALATIN, OR 97062, as the intended contractor. The solicitation does not specify the exact contract value but indicates it will be structured as a firm fixed-price contract with an estimated completion date of September 30, 2025. The total quantity includes two units each of ECT devices and complete starter kits, representing a relatively small-scale acquisition. Performance will take place in San Francisco, CA 94121, specifically at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The government emphasizes that any alternative sources must be Original Equipment Manufacturers or provide authorized distributor letters, and that responses submitted will only be evaluated to determine the viability of competitive procurement rather than for direct award consideration.
