W065--Endoscopes 4 Month Lease and Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking a 4-month lease and maintenance service for endoscopes and related equipment at the Seattle VA Medical Center Puget Sound VA Health Care System. The procurement specifies brand name or equal to Olympus America Inc. equipment, indicating a preference for established medical equipment standards. This short-term lease arrangement is explicitly designed as a bridge contract to maintain continuity of endoscopic services while the agency prepares for a longer-term solicitation. The solicitation was posted on September 25, 2025, with responses due by September 30, 2025, providing potential contractors with only five days to submit their proposals. The extremely tight timeline suggests this is an urgent procurement to avoid service disruption.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. While no incumbent contractor is specifically named in the available documentation, the reference to Olympus America Inc. as the brand name standard suggests potential familiarity with this manufacturer's equipment at the facility. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing and PSC code W065 for medical equipment lease or rental services. The 4-month contract duration indicates a relatively short-term financial commitment, though specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the summary information provided. Performance will take place at the Seattle VA Medical Center within the Puget Sound VA Health Care System, serving the medical needs of veterans in the Pacific Northwest region.
