Interested contractors must submit their responses via email to Chad Kemper (chad.kemper@va.gov) by 2 PM EST on April 28, 2025. The government emphasizes that no compensation will be provided for submitted information, and the final determination to proceed with a non-competitive award remains entirely at the VA's discretion.

Eligibility is open to any responsible source, though the VA has preliminarily determined that Abiomed is uniquely positioned to fulfill the contract's specific needs.
