6515--CATHETER

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 22, has issued a Sources Sought Notice for catheter systems and related components used in renal denervation procedures, soliciting market research to inform future procurement decisions. The effort targets commercially available off-the-shelf medical devices, specifically the Symplicity Spyral Catheter, Symplicity Starter Pack Bundle, Symplicity G3 Generator, and Symplicity G3 Generator Cart, with requirements centered on FDA clearance, Buy American Act compliance, and adherence to the Non-Manufacturer Rule under 13 CFR §125.6. Technical specifications include a maximum RF power output of 6.5 watts per electrode, operational impedance between 175 and 1,200 ohms, a display screen no larger than 10.4 inches, and universal power supply compatibility (100–200V, 50–60Hz). Respondents must provide their Unique Entity ID or CAGE Code, confirm small business or socioeconomic status—including SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, or ED/WOSB certifications—and demonstrate compliance with domestic content thresholds and country-of-origin requirements under both the Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act. The place of performance is the VA Southern Arizona Healthcare System in Tucson, Arizona, where delivery, inspection, and acceptance will occur. Responses are due by June 26, 2026, and must be submitted electronically to the contracting officer, Debby Abraham, via email, with no telephone submissions permitted. This is purely a pre-solicitation request for information, not a formal solicitation, meaning no contract award, pricing evaluation, or binding obligations will result from this notice. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or delivery schedules have been established, and pricing submissions are requested only for market analysis—not for award determination. Participation requires compliance with SAM.gov registration, and vendors are expected to address all eighteen questions in the RFI, including whether they hold a Federal Supply Schedule contract and whether they can offer leasing options. The notice does not specify packaging, labeling, or barcoding standards, nor does it identify a Contracting Officer’s Representative. The NAICS code for this effort is 339112, and all responses will be used solely to assess vendor capability and inform future acquisition planning.
