About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 has awarded a sole-source IDIQ consignment agreement to Artivion, Inc. for ON-X mechanical heart valves and components under contract 36C25726D0089 on September 13, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source. Artivion's ON-X valves are the only mechanical heart valves compatible with existing VA-owned instrumentation and feature a lower International Normalized Ratio (INR) of 1.5–2.0 compared to competitor products requiring 2.0–3.0, reducing bleeding risk to patients. Market research included searches of GSA Advantage, GSA eLibrary, SAC and NAC databases and a sources sought notice posted December 1–9, 2025 that received no responses.
The base year runs from June 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through May 28, 2031. Under the consignment agreement delivery method, Artivion retains ownership and inventory responsibility for the valves until the VA uses them, at which point payment is rendered. The acquisition is a simplified acquisition procedure for commercial items valued over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold under FAR 12. Place of performance is Kennesaw, Georgia. Artivion is classified as a large business. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing by comparing proposed prices to historical procurement costs and an independent government estimate.
