About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 15, Network Contracting Office 15 is conducting market research through a sources sought notice for vein visualization systems at Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas, with responses due by May 21, 2026.

The requirement calls for four handheld, portable, non-invasive vein visualization systems paired with hands-free, powered goose-neck wheeled stands on a brand name or equal basis, with AccuVein as the reference standard. Technical specifications require near-infrared light at approximately 850 nanometers wavelength, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, power supply input voltage range of 100–240V AC with output around 5V DC at 2A, lightweight construction, and easy-to-clean surfaces. The accompanying stand must feature wheeled mobility, ergonomic adjustability, goose-neck flexibility, and continuous power supply. Both components require 12-month manufacturer device warranty and 9-month manufacturer battery warranty.
Contractors proposing equal alternatives to AccuVein must submit documentation demonstrating that proposed products meet salient physical, functional, and performance characteristics. Interested sources should respond via email to matthew.curl@va.gov with company contact information, SAM.gov UEI number, socioeconomic status, marketing literature, country of origin, and authorization status as authorized distributor.
