EQUIP - 605-26-2-077-0076 NX- Heyex2 Upgrade - Biomed Ophthalmology

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of a Heyex2 Upgrade for biomedical ophthalmology equipment under solicitation number 36C26226P0718. This is a sole source acquisition with an estimated contract value of $27,611.00, posted on April 2, 2026, and located at the contracting office in Long Beach, California. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 339115 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code R420 (Medical Equipment and Supplies). The point of contact for inquiries is Contracting Officer Anette Doan. This Special Notice represents a simplified acquisition that will be archived 30 days following the response deadline.

The objective of this procurement is to upgrade the ophthalmology patient data management system at Loma Linda Medical Center by acquiring Heyex 2 software, related services, and hardware components, including data migration, project management, and two HP Z2G9 Tower computers. The procurement justifies sole source status based on the proprietary nature of the Heidelberg Engineering platform and the fact that Heyex 2 is the only compatible data management system available for the existing Spectralis OCT imaging equipment; the current HEYEX version is end-of-life and no longer receives cybersecurity updates. The response deadline is May 1, 2026, and contractors must be verified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to be eligible for award consideration in accordance with VAAR 819.7008 and FAR Part 13. Heidelberg Engineering, Inc. and its authorized distributor L1 Enterprises have been identified as the exclusive sources capable of meeting this requirement through market research conducted by the contracting office.
