6515--ROSA ONE Brain _ Neurological Equipment & Software

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting the ROSA ONE Brain robotic neurosurgery platform and associated software and equipment under a combined synopsis/solicitation issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) pursuant to simplified acquisition procedures under FAR subpart 12.201-1. The procurement is unrestricted and specifies the Brand Name or Equal requirement, with the primary item being the ROSA ONE Brain system, designed for high-precision stereotactic neurosurgery including SEEG, DBS, biopsy, and transnasal endoscopy. The system features a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm granting sub-millimeter accuracy, flexible registration methods using laser surface mapping or fiducials, and surgeon-centric control through force-torque sensors, eliminating autonomy while enhancing precision and reducing procedure time by an average of three hours and forty-two minutes compared to frame-based methods. The equipment package includes the robotic arm and stand set with integrated motion control and surgical planning software, a dedicated planning station, Leksell frame adapter, multiple instrument holders and adaptors for SEEG and PEEK instruments, a titanium headring kit with fixation posts and torque wrench, imaging markers, and ancillary tools—all requiring delivery to West Roxbury VAMC no later than 60 days after order receipt under DAP Incoterms. Quotes must comply with Federal Acquisition Circular 2026-01 and incorporate a comprehensive suite of FAR and VAAR clauses, including provisions for SAM registration, Buy American Act compliance, security prohibitions, whistleblower protections, labor standards, and prohibitions against confidential internal agreements. Offerors must submit signed quotations with their UEI, EFT indicator, complete pricing for all 17 line items, and an explicit statement of agreement with all solicitation terms or a detailed list of exceptions. The evaluation process will be comparative and prioritize Technical or Quality, Past Performance, Veterans Involvement, and Price, with award going to the quotation most advantageous to the government—not necessarily the lowest priced. Preference is given to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) as prime contractors, and subcontracting with such entities is also credited. Payment is contingent upon successful on-site acceptance by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, including validation of system functionality, software connectivity to the VA network, proper installation, completed training checklists, and receipt of all manuals and documentation. All items must be delivered with secure packaging, and contractors are subject to VA information security protocols
