6515--SomnoFlo Electronic Vaporizer Systems Brand Name or Equal

The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify qualified small business vendors capable of supplying SomnoFlo LowFlo Electronic Vaporizer systems or equivalent equipment for use across four surgical stations at the VA New Jersey Health Care System. The system is designed to directly connect to animals via an induction chamber and nose cone for both anesthesia induction and surgical procedures, automatically calculating and delivering precise isoflurane doses based on individual animal weight to minimize risks of over- or under-anesthetization. The purchase includes four dedicated electronic vaporizers along with matching low-profile anesthesia masks in small, medium, and large sizes for animals under 100g and 300g, as well as XX-small and small induction chambers compatible with low-flow vaporizers. The goal is to replace an aging, portable system that has caused wear and safety concerns, by installing fixed, station-specific units to improve reliability, extend equipment lifespan, and enhance staff safety. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to supply the specified brand-name equipment or acceptable equivalents, provide product literature for alternatives, and confirm their business size classification including Small Business, SDVOSB, VOSB, or other small business designations. Responses must include company details, UEI and SAM registration status, capability statements related to surgical or endoscopic equipment supply, estimated delivery timelines—ideally within seven days of order receipt—and any existing federal contract vehicles such as GSA, VA FSS, or SAC that facilitate purchase. Warranty information and compliance with the specified technical requirements are also required. This sources sought notice is strictly for market research and does not represent a solicitation or commitment to award a contract; all responses must be submitted by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on July 21, 2026, and the government will not reimburse any costs incurred in responding.
