6515--KAIRISON PNEUMATIC BONE PUNCH SYSTEM

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 21, is conducting a sources sought effort to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying the KAIRISON PNEUMATIC BONE PUNCH and its associated accessories for use at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. This initiative is not a solicitation for quotes or an obligation to procure, but rather a market research effort to determine industry capability, availability, and socio-economic class participation under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. The requirement is for a complete system including two pneumatic punch handles, pressure reducers, detachable shafts in multiple sizes, air hoses, sterilization oil sprays, wire baskets, copper and sealing caps, container parts, and a disposable tube set, all to be delivered in new condition with full manufacturer documentation, warranty details, and functional verification. All items must be FDA approved, comply with the Buy American Act, and be accompanied by a clear statement of country of origin. The contractor must provide installation, operational verification with compressed air, basic user training, and ensure final acceptance by VA Biomedical Engineering and clinical staff in Building 100 Operating Room, with delivery expected between July 31 and August 31, 2026. The offeror must demonstrate past experience supplying this specific system to the VA or other government entities, provide current commercial pricing and any discounts, and confirm whether they hold an active GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract with the applicable SIN. Responsible offerors must submit a two- to three-page statement of capability that includes their UEI number, SAM and DSBS registration status, business size classification (large or small), and any applicable socio-economic certifications such as SDVOSB, VOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, or Woman-Owned Small Business. A letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer authorizing distribution is mandatory unless the respondent is the OEM. All responses must be emailed to Contracting Officer Tawnya Krommenhoek by 10:00 AM Mountain Time on June 29, 2026, with the subject line clearly identifying the requirement. Responses must also include citations of at least two recent customers with contact details, links or attachments to any GSA schedule, and information on availability and business address. Although no evaluation factors or award criteria are established at this stage, responses will inform the government’s decision on whether to proceed with a full solicitation, which may be issued as a GSA eBuy RF
