Lumenis be

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 intends to sole-source award a Lumenis BE Digital Duet 2.0 ophthalmic laser system to Melling LLC dba Melling Medical, with capabilities statements due August 18, 2026.

The procurement covers one unit (Part Number GA-0001300-OM) with delivery 30 days after receipt of order, a one-year warranty, installation, calibration, and on-site clinical training for the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center Eye Clinic. The system will perform Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Nd:YAG laser procedures, replacing an existing YAG laser installed in 2015 that has reached its expected service life.

Lumenis BE Digital Duet 2.0 is justified as the sole source meeting minimum functional requirements: integrated high-definition digital imaging, EMR connectivity through DICOM/LAN/Wi-Fi/USB, 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen, heads-up display, automated reporting, speech-to-text support, Smart-V illumination, ADA-compliant wheelchair-accessible design, and future upgrade capability for a green photocoagulator module. The system is manufactured in the United States with nationwide Lumenis field service support.

Market research on August 6, 2026 confirmed no certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business or Veteran-Owned Small Business capable of providing equivalent equipment under NAICS 339112. Melling LLC, the SBA-certified SDVOSB sole authorized distributor of Lumenis BE laser systems for the Federal Government, is identified as the only capable source. The Nonmanufacturer Rule applies without SBA waiver, and the Rule of Two cannot be met. Award will proceed as a firm-fixed-price purchase order under simplified acquisition procedures.
