Questions are due November 11, 2026, and quotes are due November 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM PDT. Only SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database at time of offer and award are eligible, and offers from non-certified entities will not be considered.

Place of performance is Building 41 Operating Room at NMVAHCS in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Required equipment includes a 100-watt Holmium laser with accessories, a BPH laser, and a CO2 laser. Contractor technicians must hold active American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) certification and register in OR TRAX before facility access. Services must be available 24 hours daily, seven days weekly, with a one-hour response time to facility requests. Standby personnel fees are a separate line item from equipment rental costs.

The period of performance is one base year (12/6/2026 through 12/5/2027) with four one-year options extending through 12/5/2031. Quotes must include a completed VAAR 852.219-75 Limitations on Subcontracting Certificate; failure to submit it renders an offer ineligible. The certificate limits payments to non-certified firms to 50% of government payments for services. Offerors must submit a management plan of six pages maximum and up to three past performance contracts from the last five years for surgical laser equipment rental services.

The government intends to award without discussions to the responsible offeror with the lowest reasonable price.
