J065--Audiology Equipment Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 is seeking audiology equipment services under solicitation 36C25625Q1487. This procurement falls under the Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance NAICS category (811210) and specifically covers maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies (PSC J065). The solicitation amendment dated September 16, 2025, provides clarification responses to vendor questions about the equipment requirements and current installations. The posting indicates both the posted date and due date as September 16, 2025, suggesting an expedited timeline for interested contractors. The Gulf Coast Veterans Healthcare System Network Contracting Office 16 in Biloxi, Mississippi is managing this procurement process.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business enterprises. The amendment reveals that Verifitson equipment is currently being deployed across multiple VA medical facilities within the network, with specific installations including 7 units each at Biloxi, Pensacola, and Mobile locations, plus 2 units at the Panama City facility, totaling 23 units across the four sites. The documentation confirms that previously used Medrx units have been decommissioned and taken out of service. This equipment transition suggests the VA is standardizing on Verifitson technology for their audiology services across the regional network. The timing and scope indicate this is likely a service contract to support the newly installed equipment infrastructure.
