Surgical Booms and Light Upgrades

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking potential sources for surgical equipment upgrades at the Wichita VA Medical Center. The procurement involves five specific medical technology items: S-Series Booms, SLX Surgical Lights, Core IP Routing System, Connected OR Hubs, and 32" 4K OLED Display for operating room enhancements. Interested companies must submit a response of less than five pages to Jessica Barton by 3:30 PM CST on 06/13/2024, detailing their company information, capability to meet requirements, business size, and socioeconomic status. All respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for consideration. The notice is a Sources Sought Notice designed to gauge market interest and potential competition, classified under NAICS Code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 800 employees.

The procurement does not currently have a specific set-aside designation, and the anticipated contract will be a firm, fixed-price arrangement. The solicitation type will be determined based on the responses received from potential vendors. While no specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed, the procurement focuses on comprehensive operating room technology upgrades. The contract will likely be awarded to a vendor capable of providing and potentially installing the specified medical equipment, with a small business size standard that allows for moderate-sized manufacturers and suppliers to compete. The VA's approach indicates a thorough market research process to identify qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and installation requirements for advanced surgical suite technology.
