6515--GSI Audera Pro

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16, has issued a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 36C25626Q1119 to gather market data for the procurement of a GSI Audera Pro auditory diagnostic system. This RFI, posted on July 27, 2026, with responses due by 2:00 PM CST on July 31, 2026, is expressly non-binding and intended solely for market research to inform future acquisition planning; no formal solicitation or contract currently exists. Responses must be submitted via email to Stephanie Watts, Contract Specialist, at stephanie.watts@va.gov, with the subject line “GVSM VAMC,” and must be formatted in Microsoft Word using 8.5 x 11 inch pages, 12-point font, and 1-inch margins. The system is designated for installation and integration at the G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, where it will replace a nonrepairable unit to support ECOG, ABR, and ASSR testing under the oversight of VA Biomedical Engineering and the Contracting Officer’s Representative, Suzanne Roark, AuD. Vendors are required to provide detailed documentation including proof of manufacturing origin, authorization as an OEM distributor, compliance with the Non-Manufacturer Rule, small business or socioeconomic status certifications (SB, SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, 8(a)), and evidence of existing contracts under GWAC, GSA Schedule, IDIQ, or BPA programs. Brochures and capability statements must accompany responses, and proprietary markings are prohibited. While no contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing, or delivery schedules are included—as this is a pre-solicitation tool—compliance with U.S. federal procurement standards is implied, particularly regarding the prohibition of grey market products and alignment with NAICS code 334510. No formal packaging, preservation, or marking requirements such as MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-130 are detailed, though adherence by default to federal norms is expected. The acquisition is being scoped within the context of potential IDIQ or fixed-price mechanisms, with estimated contract value and award basis to be determined after analysis of vendor responses. There is no indication of set-aside status, and all submissions are voluntary and will be used
