SPS Surgical Instrument Sharpening and Repair

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, specifically the South Texas Veterans Healthcare Sterile Processing Department, is seeking qualified vendors to provide surgical instrument sharpening and repair services. The contract scope encompasses on-site and off-site repairs, inspections, sharpening, component replacements, and re-insulation of electrosurgical instruments across four locations: Audie L. Murphy VA, Northwest HCC, Datapoint Dental, and Kerrville facilities. Qualified contractors must hold ISO 9001:2015 certification and IAHCSMM certification, and must maintain detailed repair histories with service reports including before/after photographs and tracking of non-repairable devices. The contractor will be required to comply with strict security protocols, including limited facility access and obtaining VA Police-issued identification badges for all personnel. This is a pre-solicitation notice issued for market research purposes only; the sources sought notice was posted on January 12, 2026, with a response deadline of January 15, 2026, though this deadline applies to the market research phase rather than formal proposal submission.

This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the available documentation. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with four potential one-year option renewals, providing flexibility for long-term service continuity. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the government is conducting market research to inform future solicitation development. The NAICS classification assigned is 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), and the PSC code is J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). Interested vendors should note that this sources sought notice is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or obligation by the government.
