6515--36C260-26-AP-2709 New Neurovascular Coil Implants. CS: Tyrone Whalen Estimated POP: 11/17/2026 - 11/16/2031

The contract issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 20 (NCO20) is a requirements-type consignment agreement for the supply and maintenance of neurovascular coil implants, associated surgical items, and kits for use at the Portland VA Medical Center. The contractor is responsible for furnishing an initial stock and replenishing inventory of coil implants held on consignment, with delivery locations centralized in the Interventional Radiology Lab at the Portland VA Medical Center. The performance period extends from November 17, 2026, through November 16, 2031, with initial deliveries due within 15 days of contract award and replenishment stock mandated within 2–3 business days of notification. Deliveries are FOB destination, and ownership of items remains with the contractor until usage by VA clinicians, who determine clinical acceptance. The contract emphasizes inventory management best practices including first-in, first-out handling and quarterly physical audits, with the contractor required to replace expired, defective, or damaged items at no additional cost. Special contract requirements address security and personnel protocols, notably prohibiting contractor access to VA sensitive patient information (PHI/PII) and requiring personnel to comply with VA campus access policies and background investigations. The contractor must maintain a local company representative and notify the VA of any personnel substitutions in advance. Modifications to inventory levels or product assortment require written mutual agreement and contract modifications issued by the contracting officer. Payment is contingent upon item usage and typically conducted via the VA Government Purchase Card. The solicitation seeks capability statements from interested contractors within a two-page limit, requesting contact details, business size classification, socio-economic status, and Federal Supply Schedule participation. While the document lacks formal FAR clause inclusion and detailed evaluation criteria, the operational provisions clearly outline delivery, inspection, acceptance, packaging, and consignment accountability standards aligned to VA practices, ensuring reliable product availability to support surgical procedures within the VA healthcare system.
