6515--EQUIPMENT - ANESTHESIA WORKSTATIONS

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 in Albany, New York, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract for the procurement of anesthesia workstations under Product Service Code 6515 and NAICS code 334510, with a designated set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The procurement targets the acquisition of a proprietary Apollo Anesthesia system specifically configured for use in operating rooms, including core components such as the Atlan Main Configuration, Gas Supply, Endotracheal suction hardware, accessories for vapor and other items, and a power socket. This notice is strictly for market research and does not constitute a formal solicitation; no proposals or quotations will be accepted for contract award, and no contract will be awarded based on responses received. Although a response deadline of June 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT was originally indicated, the metadata conflicts with a later posted date of July 10, 2026, and a response deadline of July 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT, suggesting potential administrative adjustment. Responses challenging the sole source intent must be emailed to Aleta Jennette, the Contracting Officer, and must include comprehensive technical and pricing data detailing the respondent’s ability to meet the requirement, though no formal submission format, page limits, or file type requirements are specified. The contracting officer’s contact details are provided, and no solicitation documents, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, pricing structures, inspection criteria, or contract administration details are available, as this is a pre-solicitation market research notice with no intention to establish a competitive procurement process.
