Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, through the VA Northern California Health Care System (Sacramento VA Medical Center), is procuring a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) System capable of performing body plethysmography testing to measure lung function and capacity. The system includes specialized equipment such as the Platinum Elite DX Body Plethysmograph, spirometers, gas cylinders, software modules, and ancillary supplies, along with comprehensive installation, training, and support services. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B) justified by the unique and specialized nature of the required supplies and the VA's standardization on Medical Graphics Corporation systems across multiple facilities, with all systems interfacing through an HL7 server specific to the BreezeSuite/MGC platform. Interested parties must submit statements of capability, GSA Schedule information, UEI number, business size designation, and socio-economic status by 9:00 AM Pacific Time on May 22, 2026, to brian.fritz@va.gov, though the Government reserves the right to conduct a competitive procurement at its sole discretion. The evaluation criteria emphasize capability to provide the specified equipment and services to the three facility locations (Mather, Martinez, and Redding) with delivery on an FOB Destination basis to Sacramento VA Medical Center.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations. Medical Graphics Corporation (MDG Diagnostics), located at 350 Oak Grove Parkway, St Paul, Minnesota, has been identified as the sole capable source and current contractor for these specialized systems. The estimated contract value is $417,533.56, with 111 line items distributed across three facility locations, including equipment packages, one-day installation and training, two-day operator training, eight-hour remote professional services, white glove delivery, and one-year UltraCare Preferred Support Agreements for both systems. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). Market research confirmed that while 432 to 456 potential sources exist in relevant NAICS categories, only Medical Graphics Corporation products met the specialized requirements identified through GSA Advantage searches.
