Tucson CMOP ELECTRODE PAD EARCLIP ASEEP

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking to procure 3,900 electrode pads (Part Number 00036-3335-00) from Alpha-Stim for the VA CMOP Tucson facility. This Request for Quote (RFQ 36C77026Q0063) falls under the Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies category (PSC 6515) and relates to In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing (NAICS 325413). Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit a comprehensive package that includes a signed SF1449 form, a pricing schedule in Excel format, OEM authorized dealer documentation, and a Buy American Act certificate if quoting non-domestic products. The evaluation criteria emphasize vendor compliance with OEM authorization requirements and submission completeness, as incomplete submissions will be deemed non-compliant. The RFQ is scheduled to be issued on December 31, 2025, with all responses due by January 7, 2026 at 4:00 PM CST, and vendors must submit their packages via email to contract specialist Sarah Fry at sarah.fry2@va.gov.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to qualified small business entities. While Alpha-Stim is identified as the original equipment manufacturer for the electrode pads, vendors may qualify as OEM authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers, with a deviation allowing non-manufacturing vendors to submit a letter of authorization from a manufacturer's authorized wholesaler. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The delivery timeframe is 10 days following receipt of order, ensuring rapid fulfillment of the 3,900-unit requirement. Potential bidders should note that the short response window of seven days requires prompt preparation and submission of all required documentation to be considered for this small business opportunity.
