Interacoustics Titan ABRIS/TEOAE/ID Headphones

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of Interacoustics Titan ABRIS/TEOAE/ID Headphones for the Dublin VA Medical Center. This notice indicates the VA's intent to award a sole source delivery order to e3 Diagnostic, Inc. for these specialized audiological testing headphones. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and Federal Supply Class J065. The headphones are specifically designed for objective audiological tests and feature "Intelligent Transducer" technology that enables automatic recognition and calibration for use with Interacoustics Titan devices. The notice was posted on September 3, 2025, and represents a civilian agency procurement rather than a defense-related acquisition.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's sole source procurement intention while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit capabilities statements by September 8, 2025, at 7:00 AM Eastern Time to the designated point of contact, Rudy A. Cortinez at rudy.cortinez@va.gov. The small business size standard for this procurement is set at 1000 employees, and contractors must be able to provide the specific Interacoustics Titan compatible headphones. The government seeks to determine whether competition would be advantageous through these capability submissions. The notice emphasizes that it serves as an informational synopsis rather than a formal solicitation, with the VA retaining full discretion over the final procurement decision and process.
