About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs is preparing to solicit multiple single-award IDIQ contracts for the FY26 Recompete of the Electro-Therapeutic Modalities for Pain Management (ETMPM) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Procurement Program, with formal solicitation expected on SAM.gov following this pre-solicitation notice posted August 11, 2026. No small business set-aside is anticipated; the VA determined insufficient Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses capable of meeting Minimum Technical Requirements across the full product portfolio, though SDVOSBs and small businesses may participate as authorized distributors under the SBA Nonmanufacturer Rule waiver or in OEM-distributor teaming arrangements.
All devices must be new, OEM-manufactured items with FDA 510(k) market clearance, fully operational at delivery without dependence on subscriptions or smart-device apps, and include mandatory features: digital displays, adjustable parameters, dual-channel output, compliance monitors, and rechargeable power. Devices must comply with Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act requirements; domestic end-products are preferred, TAA-designated country end-products are acceptable, and non-designated countries including China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Pakistan, and Indonesia are prohibited unless a BAA Nonavailability Waiver is approved.
Product samples for each proposed CLIN/SLIN must be shipped to VA Denver Logistics Services by the proposal deadline. CLINs X001–X004 (TENS/IFC/SWD commercial-off-the-shelf items) will use Lowest-Price-Technically-Acceptable source selection; CLIN X005 (neuromodulation commercial item) will use Best-Value Continuum source selection. All unit prices are Firm-Fixed Price with no Economic Price Adjustment clause. Contractors must provide U.S.-based toll-free support, cannot collect Veteran PII or PHI, and must notify the VA within one business day of any product recall or safety action.
