Vein Visualization System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking eleven (11) Vein Visualization Systems for the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center. The specific requirement is for the AccuVein AV500 Vein Visualization System or an equivalent product that uses infrared light to detect veins. Interested vendors must submit a detailed response by March 19, 2025, at 8:00 AM EST via email to Contracting Officer Mickeya Linzie. The response must include specific company information such as business type, UEI number, capabilities, and manufacturing origin. Vendors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the salient characteristics, which include a portable, hand-held instrument with an integrated rechargeable battery, charging cradle, power supply, and instructional documents, as well as no routine maintenance requirements and a minimum one-year warranty.

The VA anticipates a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms under Public Law 109-461, Section 8127 Veterans Benefit Act. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 339112 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,000 employees. If SDVOSB responses are deemed inadequate, the VA may consider an alternate set-aside or full and open competition. While the specific award value is not explicitly stated, the notice indicates a requirement for eleven systems, suggesting a potentially significant procurement opportunity. The solicitation emphasizes the importance of SDVOSB participation, with the agency prepared to adjust its approach if sufficient qualified veteran-owned small businesses do not respond to the sources sought notice.
