GSI AudioStar Pro with Speakers

The Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind (VSDB), a Virginia state agency, is soliciting bids for one GSI AudioStar Pro clinical audiometer with a GSI-compatible high-performance speaker system, plus training and installation at its Staunton, Virginia facility, with responses due November 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Substitute brands will not be accepted, so the bid is for the exact GSI model. Bids are unsealed and accepted only electronically through the eVA portal, and bidders must be registered eVA vendors.

The AudioStar Pro is a two-channel clinical audiometer supporting air- and bone-conduction testing across the full pure-tone range, with pediatric noise options, automatic speech functions, and GSI Suite reporting that combines audiometric, tympanometric, and otoacoustic emissions results. The specification requires compliance with ISO 13485 and with ANSI S3.6, ANSI S3.43, IEC 60645-1, IEC 60645-2, and ISO 389. Standard accessories include a wireless keyboard, mouse, and gooseneck microphone. The vendor must supply the system with speakers and provide mandatory product training and installation at the VSDB facility.

The solicitation lists Augusta County and Strasburg Town as jurisdictions. Bidders must pay an eVA vendor transaction fee on each purchase order, equal to 1% capped at $500 for DSBSD-certified small businesses or $1,500 for other businesses. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, with the Commonwealth as additional insured, and Employer's Liability of $100,000. Invoices are payable 30 days after invoice or delivery, whichever occurs last. Questions go to Heather Miltenberger at 540-598-1986 or heather.miltenberger@vsdbs.virginia.gov.
