J066--Karl Stortz Surgical Instrument Service B+2

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is seeking a comprehensive service agreement for Karl Storz laparoscopic surgical instrument maintenance and repair services at the VAMC West Haven, Connecticut facility. The procurement will be limited to Karl Storz Endsoscopy-America, Inc. as the original equipment manufacturer and L1 Enterprises as the sole authorized Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business distributor, utilizing streamlined acquisition procedures under FAR 12.6 and FAR 13.104. The services include repairs, exchanges, replacements, and warranty coverage for surgical instruments, with a one-time joint review of all instruments to ensure accurate accounting. The justification emphasizes critical requirements including system compatibility, patient safety, clinical standardization, and sterile processing efficiency. Interested parties must respond by August 20, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with questions directed to Contract Specialist Kim McCarthy at kim.mccarthy@va.gov.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation, though it will be competed between the original equipment manufacturer and the authorized SDVOSB distributor to the maximum extent practicable. L1 Enterprises is identified as the current Karl Storz reseller and sole authorized Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business distributor eligible for this opportunity. The contract value falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000, indicating a relatively modest procurement size. The contract structure includes a base period plus two option years, providing a potential three-year service agreement. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and Product Service Code J066 for maintenance and repair of instruments and laboratory equipment. Due to the exclusive source availability, this solicitation will not be posted on SAM.gov, and the procurement is subject to VA Acquisition Regulation prohibitions regarding gray market and counterfeit items.
