About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 is conducting market research to identify potential sources for Phantom-brand surgical instruments intended for the Michael E. Debakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas. The procurement seeks various surgical items including long tooth blades in titanium with specific dimensions (LS series in 23MM and 45MM widths, and LT series in 60MM widths), retractors, retractor blade handles, instrument trays, and T-handle crank controls. Prospective vendors must provide documentation addressing manufacturing location, business size classification, Non-Manufacturer Rule compliance, authorized distributor status for OEM parts, contractor capabilities with contact information, DUNS numbers, applicable small business certifications, and availability under government-wide contracts or GSA schedules. The evaluation will focus on responses addressing these qualification and capability criteria to inform the VA's procurement strategy determination. The deadline for submitting responses is February 16, 2026, at 1:00 PM CST, with questions due by February 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM CST, and responses must be emailed to Oney Kelly at Oney.kelly@va.gov with the subject line "MEDVAMC Surgical Instruments."
This is a pre-solicitation notice with no set-aside designation, and no current incumbent or contractor is identified in the documentation. The notice applies to NAICS code 339112 (surgical instrument manufacturing) and Product Service Code 6515. Total quantities requested range from 2 to 8 units per item type across the various surgical instruments specified. No award value or budget range has been disclosed, as the VA emphasizes this notice is market research only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or request for proposals. The place of performance is 2002 Holcombe Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77030, and the estimated market research pricing information requested from vendors will directly inform the agency's determination of the most appropriate procurement strategy for the upcoming formal solicitation.
