The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking a contractor to provide Urological Cryoablation Services at the Lt. Col Luke Weathers Jr. VA Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee. The procurement involves supplying specialized medical equipment and services for targeted cryoablation of the prostate (TCAP) procedures, specifically requiring a CryoCare CS or Cryo 20 unit, associated disposable probes, ultrasound equipment, and a trained technician. The VA requires the contractor to be available according to a mutually agreed schedule, with the VA Nurse Liaison providing 3-4 weeks advance notice for planned procedures and the ability to request emergency service with 48 hours notice. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 7, 2025, with responses due by February 24, 2025, and indicates the contract will utilize NAICS code 621399 and PSC Q525 for classification. While specific evaluation criteria were not explicitly detailed in the notice, the requirements suggest a focus on technical capability, equipment readiness, and service responsiveness.

The contract opportunity is not designated with any specific set-aside status and will cover a performance period from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2030 - a five-year term. The solicitation includes a unique standby fee structure, where contractors will receive 50% of the total procedure cost for cases cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, with an exception for same-day double-scheduled procedures. No specific budget range or estimated contract value was provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The contract will require the selected vendor to be flexible in scheduling, with the ability to mobilize equipment and trained personnel on relatively short notice.
