6515--Sleep Lab CO2 Monitors

The James A. Haley Veterans Hospital Sleep Study Clinic is conducting market research to identify domestic vendors capable of supplying transcutaneous CO₂ monitoring systems that meet strict clinical and technical requirements for use in full-night diagnostic sleep studies. The system must provide continuous, non-invasive, and stable CO₂ measurements with skin-compatible sensors that can remain in place for up to 12 hours without recalibration or causing patient irritation, while allowing unrestricted patient mobility during sleep. Full compatibility with existing Nox Medical A1 and C1 Polysomnographic Systems is mandatory to ensure seamless data integration, uninterrupted monitoring, and compatibility with the hospital’s current clinical workflows without requiring additional staff training. The government is prioritizing domestically manufactured products and giving preference to small, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned businesses, with vendors required to submit confirmation of domestic manufacturing to support potential application of the Buy American Act. Responses must demonstrate that the proposed system includes sleep-specific operational features such as a freely rotating sensor cable, dimmable displays, and muted or configurable alarms, alongside a minimum two-year manufacturer warranty that does not require advance payment for extended coverage. All submissions must be sent via email to the designated contracting officer by July 9, 2026, and must include company details, product literature proving compliance with each salient characteristic, documented evidence of Nox system compatibility, and an estimated delivery timeframe. This sources sought notice is strictly for market research and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract; the information gathered will determine whether a competitive acquisition is feasible or whether a brand-name or sole-source justification is warranted due to the unique technical integration requirements. The final procurement strategy will depend on whether commercially available domestic systems can meet all specified clinical, operational, and compatibility criteria, with the place of performance firmly established at the hospital’s location in Tampa, Florida.
