About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center intends to sole source procure ten (10) Clinical Female Pelvic Trainer (CFPT) MK 3-Advanced-Dark units (Part Number 60935) from Limbs & Things, Inc. of Savannah, Georgia. The trainers are required to replace existing damaged units that support congressionally mandated women's health clinical training for Women's Health Primary Care Providers and nurses. The procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold as a brand-name only commercial requirement. Market research confirmed that Limbs & Things is the sole designer, manufacturer, and provider of this specific model, with other potential sources requiring procurement through the manufacturer. The notice was posted on August 19, 2025, with a due date of September 3, 2025, though the government is not seeking offers or quotes in response to this notice of intent.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is classified under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. The exact brand name requirement stems from the need for consistency with the existing training program, as different trainers would result in major training changes, disruption, and additional costs. Limbs & Things confirmed it directly provides warranty and support for the item, making it the only reasonable source for the ten replacement units. The government does not anticipate any subcontracting opportunities associated with this procurement. The procurement falls under PSC category 6910 for Training Aids, reflecting the educational nature of these medical training devices.
Notice text
Description - Notice of Intent to Sole Source (Brand-Name, Commercial Requirement)
The VA Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) intends to negotiate a sole source contract (under the simplified acquisition threshold) with Limbs & Things, Inc. 12127 Apache Ave., Savannah, GA 31419 for the provision and delivery of ten (10) clinical female pelvic trainers (CFPT) MK 3– Advanced – Dark (P/N 60935) to replace existing damaged units needed in direct support of delivering congressionally mandated women’s health clinical training to Women’s Health Primary Care Providers (WH-PCP) and nurses.
This notice is for information purposes. The Government is not seeking offers or quotes in response to this notice of intent.
Competition is lacking for this required brand-name product as confirmed through Market Research and SAC must therefore purchase the required items directly from the manufacturer, Limbs & Things, Inc. Responses to market research requests confirmed that any other potential sources must procure the item from Limbs & Things and respondents to market research requests directed VA to the manufacturer. When contacted, Limbs & Things confirmed that it is “…the sole source designer, manufacturer and provider (of 60935 CFPT Advanced Dark)” and that it “…directly provides the warranty and support for the item.”
This exact brand name item is needed for consistency in the existing training program. The units being ordered are meant to replace previously purchased units that are no longer functional. Different trainers would result in major training changes, disruption, and additional costs. For these reasons, Limbs & Things is the only reasonable source for the 10 CFPTs being ordered.
The Government does not anticipate subcontracting opportunities associated with this procurement.
