6515--Non-Biological Implants Endologix, Inc. Six Months Extension

Contract VA119-16-D-0046, managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg, involves the procurement of non-biological surgical implants provided by Endologix, Inc. Under NAICS code 339113, this agreement ensures that VA clinicians and veterans maintain uninterrupted access to essential prosthetic implants. The contract was recently modified via P00014 to grant a non-competitive extension, a move justified by the need to maintain medical services during the transition to new national contract vehicles and the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extension is authorized under statutory authorities 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5) and 38 U.S.C. 8123. It establishes a base ordering period of six months running from October 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, with an additional six-month option period extending from April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. This action ensures the continued availability of critical medical supplies while the agency finalizes its long-term procurement strategy.
