65--GLUCOSE STARTER KIT - 653

The VISN 20 VA facility in Roseburg, Oregon is seeking sources for a subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring system that displays glucose levels continuously over 24 hours through a sensor inserted under the skin. The purpose of this request is to determine market availability for this type of product under Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) or GSA contracts, as current market research is inconclusive. Providers interested in this opportunity are asked to respond via email by June 25, 2012, including detailed company information such as name, point of contact, business size, and relevant FAR designations like small business or veteran-owned. They should also disclose if they currently hold any Federal Supply Schedule, GSA, or VA contracts listing this product, along with contract numbers and expiration dates. This sources sought notice is categorized under NAICS codes 339112 (Surgical and Medical Manufacturers, with a business size standard of 500 employees) and 423450 (Medical Equipment Wholesalers, with a standard of 100 employees). While there is no solicitation or formal request for proposal yet, a Request for Quote is planned for the future. This initial outreach aims to gather market information to support the potential procurement of these glucose monitoring systems by the VA medical facility. Responses must be sent to the designated email address with the specified subject line, ensuring the government has an accurate understanding of available vendors and contract statuses before issuing a formal solicitation.
