The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 17, is seeking marketplace information for the Thompson Cervical Retractor System or an equal alternative to be delivered to the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. This procurement is for a complete system used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedures, encompassing delivery, installation, operational testing, adjustments, and comprehensive staff training on-site. The device must meet specific salient characteristics including stainless steel and aluminum construction, independent blade positioning, rail-mounted design, and compatibility with surgical tables, with reference to the OEM model SL82025. Responses must include business information, capability statements, proof of compliance with technical requirements, socioeconomic status, and delivery lead time, and are due by May 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST via email to Janice Malbon with a specific subject line. The contract is structured as a sources-sought notice with no pricing data requested or provided, indicating the primary goal is market research rather than immediate award. The place of performance is strictly the hospital’s Surgical Service department, and all equipment must be installed and tested in the operating room under government supervision. While the system consists of 43 identified components including rail clamps, concave blades, and an instrument case measuring 23 x 11 x 3.5 inches, no packaging, preservation, or labeling standards beyond basic item identification are mandated. The Government retains full ownership and unlimited rights to all deliverables, with strict prohibitions on contractor access to patient data, PHI, PII, or VA IT systems. No security clearances, organizational conflict of interest provisions, or contract options are applicable, and final acceptance rests solely with the VA based on successful installation and training completion. The technical point of contact is LaKeith Thomas of the Surgical Service, while Janice Malbon serves as the contracting specialist handling submissions.
