6515--Mobile Guidance System

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 23 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed price contract under solicitation number 36C26326Q0665 to Wolfpack Medical Supply LLC for the procurement of one Avvigo+ Mobile Guidance System at a price of $113,400. This acquisition was justified under FAR 6.103-1 due to the proprietary nature of the system, which is exclusively compatible with existing Boston Scientific capital equipment and disposable inventory valued at over $404,000, ensuring uninterrupted clinical operations and diagnostic accuracy within the Cardiology Cath Lab at the Iowa City VA Health Care System. The procurement followed simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.106-1 and was not subject to competitive bidding, as no other vendor can provide equivalent system interoperability. The award was made on May 27, 2026, following a sole source justification submitted on April 27, 2026, and a response deadline of May 12, 2026. Delivery and installation will occur at the Iowa City VA Medical Center, with acceptance determined by VA personnel based on functional integration, real-time physiologic imaging performance, and compatibility with existing Boston Scientific devices. The Contracting Officer, Steve Ashby, is the primary point of contact, while no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical lead is formally designated. The contract includes no option periods, additional line items, or special requirements beyond the deliverable itself, and payment, invoicing, and accounting details such as TAS or AAC codes are not specified. The awardee is identified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business through contextual documentation, though explicit Section K certifications are not provided. Packaging, marking, and delivery terms including FOB conditions are not detailed, and record retention applies for 60 days post-award. The system must be installed and validated in the clinical environment, with rejection criteria rooted in performance failures or incompatibility with the existing infrastructure.
