Intent to Sole Source Natus Quantum (Phase II) Amplifier-256 Channels

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 16, located in Houston, Texas, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Natus Medical Incorporated. The contract is specifically for the Natus Quantum (Phase II) Amplifier-256 Channels, a medical device designed to monitor veteran patients' brain waves and support neurological treatments. This procurement is targeted for the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center to enhance its Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) capabilities. The opportunity is classified under the Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing NAICS category and is set aside as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business sole source procurement. The contract notice was posted on May 12, 2025, with a response deadline of May 15, 2025.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to acquire a state-of-the-art medical amplifier system to expand patient monitoring and treatment capabilities for neurological conditions. Contractors should note the key requirements include providing new equipment with installation, maintenance, warranty, and comprehensive training services. The contract mandates 24x7x365 unlimited telephone support and a one-year parts and depot support warranty, with equipment delivery required within 120 days to the MEDVAMC Warehouse. While this is a non-competitive procurement with Natus Medical Incorporated identified as the sole responsible source, interested parties may submit a Request for Information (RFI) by 3:00 p.m. Central Time on May 15, 2025, to potentially demonstrate competitive advantages. Eligibility is limited, as the opportunity is specifically designated for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and is targeted exclusively to Natus Medical Incorporated for this specialized medical equipment procurement.
