6515--INTENT TO SINGLE-SOURCE RFQ: 36C24126Q0587 GE Stress Test eBike

This procurement is a one-time, firm-fixed-price, sole-source acquisition by the Department of Veterans Affairs through its Network Contracting Office 1 in Augusta, Maine, for the purchase of one GE e-Bike EL ergometer to support cardiac stress testing at the VA Boston Healthcare System in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. The procurement is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, with TrillaMed LLC identified as the sole eligible vendor under VAAR 819.7008, leveraging its status as an authorized GE SDVOSB distributor. The NAICS code 334510 applies, classifying the item as electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, and the procurement falls above the micro-purchase threshold but within the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. The item is a medically calibrated stationary cycle that functions as a peripheral input device, transmitting real-time physiological data such as watts, heart rate, and pedaling resistance directly into the existing GE CASE Cardiac Stress Testing System and GE MUSE Diagnostic Cardiology Study Management System without storing any protected health information. It is compatible only with proprietary GE Healthcare communication protocols and falls under the MUSE NX R2 SP4 authorization boundary with associated FDA clearance and ERAR documentation. The scope of the award includes white glove delivery and installation at the specified VA facility, verification of full integration with existing GE systems, one day of onsite clinical training, and four hours of remote clinical training for staff. No competitive solicitation is issued; this notice serves solely to inform potential respondents of the government’s intent to proceed with a non-competitive award. Responses, if any, must be submitted by June 30, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time, though no formal solicitation package or proposal instructions are available. All communication must be directed to Contract Specialist Carlos Ortiz and copied to Contracting Officer Deidra Thomas via email, with telephone inquiries explicitly not honored. The acquisition is supported by an approved justification for sole-source award under SDVOSB regulations, with an applicable NMR waiver granted under VAAR 819.7003(d) due to the item’s classification as patient monitoring equipment. The contract value is not specified, though a referenced historical part price is $11,457.29; no detailed pricing, invoicing, payment details, or contract administration information is provided beyond the contact points for the contracting
