6515--GNV IMAGING INSUFFLATORS 36C24826Q0763

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the North Florida South Georgia Veterans Health Service, is soliciting bids for the procurement of two insufflation systems to support CT virtual colonoscopy procedures at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida. The procurement is a total set-aside for certified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses under NAICS code 339112 and is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with an estimated delivery timeline of 60 days after receipt of order. The systems must meet stringent technical specifications, including automated CO₂ delivery for optimal colonic distention, real-time visual and audible alerts for low gas supply, a touch-screen interface, redundant safety features to prevent over-insufflation, and compatibility with standard medical-grade D or E size CO₂ cylinders. Each system must include a high-pressure hose and yoke, a rolling cart with storage for cylinders and spare administration sets, and 24 administration sets per unit featuring 20 Fr catheters with retention cuffs, hydrophobic filters, 100 mL effluent containers, and connectors. The equipment will be delivered FOB destination to the medical center, and the contractor must ensure packaging complies with common carrier regulations to guarantee safe transport and receipt. Evaluation of offers will prioritize technical compliance, delivery capability, and price in descending order of importance, with technical and delivery factors collectively carrying more weight than price in a best-value determination. Offerors must submit detailed technical descriptions of their products and verify that all required representations and certifications are current in the System for Award Management, including business size, ownership structure, manufacturer status, and compliance with prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment. Contractors must adhere to federal, state, and local laws, including ethics statutes, procurement integrity rules, labor standards, and the Controlled Unclesed Information program. Invoices must be submitted with full detail including contract and line item numbers, shipping information, payment terms, tax identification, and EFT banking data, and will be processed via electronic funds transfer. The government reserves the right to inspect and accept or reject delivered items based on compliance with specifications, and may require repair, replacement, or equitable price adjustment for nonconforming supplies or services. Contract administration is handled by Contracting Officer Jeremy C. Parrish, and the solicitation incorporates numerous FAR and VAAR clauses including whistleblower protections, SAM maintenance requirements, commercial advertising restrictions, and DEI discrimination prohibitions. Offers are due by 4:30 PM Eastern Time, June 17, 2026
