The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center is seeking to procure a comprehensive Ultrasound Guided Fusion Biopsy System through solicitation 36C10G25R0024, specifically requesting Philips or equivalent brand equipment for nationwide deployment across VA Medical Centers. This procurement encompasses 63 line items including UroNav 4 Fusion Biopsy Systems, transperineal biopsy equipment, system upgrades, starter sets, consumable parts, DynaCAD software licenses, server hardware, and various tiered service packages (Gold, Silver, and Custom levels). The contract is structured as a single award requirements contract with a base 12-month period and four optional 12-month extension years, designed to support VHA Equipment Life Cycle Management Program needs. The government will evaluate proposals on a best value basis, with technical capability being significantly more important than past performance, and both non-price factors being significantly more important than price. The original response deadline of June 30, 2025, has been extended to July 17, 2025, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, with proposals required to be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Alex Beck and Contracting Officer Kimberly LeMieux.

This procurement is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, requiring contractors to be verified and listed in the VA's Vendor Information Pages database. While no specific incumbent contractor is mentioned, the solicitation includes a blank past performance reference template suggesting potential challenges in demonstrating prior relevant experience for this specialized medical equipment. The contract includes a Service Level Agreement fee of 3.0% that must be embedded in pricing, with estimated quantities ranging from 1-6 units per line item depending on the specific component or service. Contract administration includes mandatory monthly and quarterly reporting requirements, with contractors required to submit detailed reports by the 5th of each month and quarterly sales reports within 60 calendar days after each fiscal quarter's end. The place of performance is listed as Fredericksburg, VA, though the equipment will be deployed nationwide across CONUS and OCONUS VA healthcare facilities spanning 23 Veterans Integrated Service Networks.
