VPRO Max2 Low Temp Sterilizers

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is procuring three VPRO Max2 Low Temperature Sterilizers for the Kansas City VA Medical Center to support the Sterile Processing Service in reprocessing reusable medical devices used in invasive procedures. The sterilizers must utilize vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization technology, which operates at temperatures not exceeding 55°C and is particularly suited for heat-sensitive materials. Key requirements include specific cabinet dimensions (33 x 40-15/16 x 72 inches), installation requiring only a dedicated electrical connection with no plumbing or ventilation modifications, integration with the CensiTrac Instrument Tracking System, and comprehensive maintenance for a minimum of one year. The contractor must employ fully qualified technicians and respond to equipment failures within four hours. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is January 21, 2026, at 11 a.m. Central Time, providing interested vendors one week to submit their capability statements.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, though the government has indicated a preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The specific award value and budget range have not been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement requires three sterilizer units meeting defined utility specifications, including 16-amp current capacity with a minimum 20-amp circuit breaker and NEMA L15-20R plug configuration. The facility space available for equipment is approximately 35 feet by 110 feet, and successful contractors must also conduct site visits and coordinate with the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer Representative, Infection Control Risk Assessment Office, and Safety Office throughout the contract performance period.
