Electrosurgical Generator

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is procuring electrosurgical medical equipment, specifically 4 ValleyLab FT10 Electrosurgical Generators and 2 ValleyLab FT Series Energy Platform models manufactured by Medtronic. The procurement is being conducted as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number 36C24725Q0923 to support the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System. Key requirements include new equipment only with manufacturer's warranty coverage, FOB destination pricing, and submission of a mandatory authorized reseller letter from the original equipment manufacturer. The evaluation will be based on the lowest cumulative price for all items that meet the solicitation requirements, with award contemplated without discussions. Quotes are due by 2:00 PM EST on August 29, 2025, via email to the Contracting Officer.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms that are VetCert verified, with three potential distributors identified: Marathon Medical from Aurora, Colorado, Beacon Point Associates from Cape Coral, Florida, and Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions from Jacksonville, Florida. The estimated purchase value will exceed $25,000 and will be made against a Federal Supply Schedule contract through the e-Buy system. The procurement involves a total of 6 units of electrosurgical equipment with delivery planned for the Central Alabama VA Medical Center in Montgomery, Alabama. The justification for limiting sources to these specific brand-name devices is based on existing equipment compatibility at CAVHCS operating rooms, with concerns that switching to alternative devices would require costly retraining and pose patient safety risks.
