Tucson CMOP ELECTRODE PAD EARCLIP ASEEP

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VISN 15) Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) Contracting Office has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research for Electrode Pad Earclip devices, specifically the Alpha-Stim model (Manufacturer Part # 00036333500). This procurement falls under NAICS code 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The government is seeking detailed vendor information including company background, socioeconomic status, domestic manufacturing capabilities, authorized distributor networks, existing contract schedules, and direct letters of authorization from the original equipment manufacturer. As this is a market research initiative rather than a formal solicitation, responses are non-binding and vendors are responsible for their own submission expenses. Interested parties must submit their responses by December 26, 2025, at 4:00 PM CDT to Sarah Fry at sarah.fry2@va.gov.

This Sources Sought Notice carries no set-aside designation, meaning all eligible vendors may respond regardless of business classification. No incumbent contractor or current award value information is provided in the notice, as this represents preliminary market research rather than a binding procurement action. The business size standard for this requirement is 1,250 employees, establishing the threshold for small business classification purposes. While no specific quantity or delivery timeline is detailed in the notice, the government's request for information regarding authorized distributors and existing contract schedules suggests potential interest in establishing supply relationships with qualified vendors. Respondents should note that participation in this market research phase does not guarantee selection for any subsequent formal solicitation.
