The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is conducting a Sources Sought announcement for gynecologic surgical instruments and sterilization accessories for the VA Saint Louis Health Care System. This market research initiative seeks to identify qualified businesses capable of supplying a comprehensive set of surgical-grade stainless steel instruments for Women's Health services, including equipment for both open and minimally invasive gynecological procedures. The procurement covers an extensive range of surgical instruments such as clamps, forceps, graspers, scissors, needle holders, tenaculums, retractors, specula, curettes, dilators, probes, laparoscopic instruments, and sterilization systems. All instruments must be FDA-registered, autoclavable, compatible with existing sterilization workflows, meet ASTM or ISO standards, and be validated for repeated autoclave cycles. Responses to this Sources Sought notice are due by 10:00 AM CST on July 31, 2025, and must include company details, capability statements, and qualifications.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified businesses. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or specify award values or budget ranges, as this is a market research phase preceding the formal solicitation process. The performance requirements mandate that all items be new, unused, and delivered in sterile condition to the St. Louis VA Medical Center. The solicitation is being managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 15, located in Leavenworth, Kansas. While specific quantities are not detailed in this Sources Sought phase, the procurement encompasses a comprehensive inventory of surgical instruments necessary to support the full scope of gynecological surgical procedures at the facility.
