About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Edwards Lifesciences LLC for a HemoSphere 360 Light Protection Service Plan covering cardiac output monitors at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. The contract will be awarded under FAR 13.106-1 and requires comprehensive service for 18 HemoSphere Cardiac Monitors, including ClearSight module preventative maintenance, sensor replacements, total protection warranty, and 24/7/365 technical support. Interested vendors may submit capability statements by December 10, 2024, at 12:00 PM Central Time to Alisha Milander via email, with responses requiring a System for Award Management (SAM) Unique Entity ID, Taxpayer Identification Number, and documentation proving authorized distributor status. The VA will conduct market research based on submitted responses and retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract. Vendors must have an active SAM registration to be considered.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, and market research has already determined no service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SD/VOSBs) can provide the required proprietary services. The procurement falls under NAICS category 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J065 (Medical Equipment Maintenance and Repair). While specific contract award value is not disclosed, the scope covers maintenance and support for 18 cardiac monitors with comprehensive service requirements through December 2024. Edwards Lifesciences LLC is identified as the sole source due to proprietary equipment specifications and unique service capabilities. The contract will include option periods, suggesting potential long-term service engagement beyond the initial performance period.
