NFIM Training and Equipment

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Network 21 has issued a Special Notice for NFIM (NeuroMyofascial and Frequency Specific Microcurrent) Training and Equipment to support the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center. This notice announces the agency's intent to sole source a contract under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2), indicating that only one source is available to meet the government's requirements. The procurement involves acquiring specialized medical equipment including multiple MEND Professional and Wellness Devices, electrode components, and a Berman Laser, along with comprehensive training services. The contract will run from September 8, 2025, to September 7, 2026, and falls under the electromedical apparatus manufacturing industry category. The total package includes both equipment delivery and extensive educational components for VA healthcare personnel.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capability to perform this requirement before the government proceeds with sole source acquisition. Interested contractors must submit their responses to the designated contracting officer by September 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, including detailed documentation supporting their capabilities. Non-original equipment manufacturers must provide authorized distributor letters from the OEM, while small businesses must explain compliance with subcontracting limitations and nonmanufacturer rules. The training component includes a comprehensive program featuring 2-day face-to-face NeuroMyofascial training for 10 students, prerequisite virtual training, a 16-hour FSM Foundations course, and a 3-day preceptorship session. If no qualified responses are received, the government will proceed with the planned sole source contract award, emphasizing that responses will only be used to determine whether competitive procurement should replace the sole source approach.
