Endoscopy Dri-Stor Cabinet and Installation to support the Kerrville Texas GI Clinic

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 is soliciting quotes for the procurement and installation of an Endoscopy Dri-Stor Cabinet to support the Kerrville Texas GI Clinic. The solicitation requires a large diameter scope cabinet (model 42590SCHG-16PTD-TSDS) with a 16-scope capacity, HEPA ventilation, channel purge functionality, and associated equipment including 12 tubing sets for an Olympus trifurcated water channel. This is a Brand Name or Equal procurement conducted under FAR Part 13 procedures with a firm-fixed price award structure. The evaluation criteria and specific weighting methodology are not detailed in the available documentation, though the solicitation emphasizes technical compliance with stated specifications. Quotes must be submitted by 3:00 PM CST on January 19, 2026, with an award effective date of January 14, 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small businesses in that category. No incumbent contractor or budget range is identified in the available solicitation materials. The contract includes three line items covering the cabinet unit, tubing supplies, and installation and assembly services, with installation required to be completed by January 16, 2026, during standard business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, excluding federal holidays. The place of performance is listed as San Antonio, NM, USA, though the equipment is intended for the Audie Murphy VAMC in San Antonio, Texas. The compressed timeline from posting to quote deadline—just five calendar days—represents a significant constraint for interested bidders.
