About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 issued a Special Notice on July 22, 2026, soliciting sources and capabilities for the Shukla Neuro Surgical Instrument Kit to support neurosurgical operations at VA medical facilities within VISN 20. The notice serves as market research to assess commercial offerings and identify qualified vendors prior to formal procurement action.
The acquisition stems from Portland VA Medical Center's Neurosurgery Service Line requirement for a second Shukla Spine-CTL Universal Spinal Screw Removal System as a backup kit for spine procedures involving explantation of previously implanted hardware. VA policy mandates all critical surgical instrument trays maintain backup sets to ensure continuity of care, patient safety, and operational readiness. Market research determined that no other commercially available system meets the minimum clinical, operational, and safety requirements due to the Shukla system's patented Helicopter Socket technology for engaging damaged or stripped spinal screws, inventory of over 130 spinal drivers including 40+ proprietary implant-specific drivers, ergonomic design reducing surgeon fatigue, and immediate availability. Shukla Medical, a division of S.S. White Technologies, Inc., a small business, manufactures the kit with no authorized distributors. A sole-source award was approved July 15, 2026 under JOFOC Tracking # FY26 - NCO 20 - 1778. Interested vendors should submit capability statements and product information demonstrating ability to meet VA standards for neurosurgical instruments, including pricing and delivery capabilities.
