6515--SUPPLY-HEART VALVE- INDIANAPOLIS

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network 10 Contracting Office, has awarded a contract under solicitation number 36C250-26-AP-3639 to Edwards Lifesciences LLC for the supply of a single heart valve device at a contract value of $34,000. The award was issued on May 13, 2026, and the product is classified under NAICS code 339112 for surgical and medical instrument manufacturing, indicating it is a commercial off-the-shelf medical device compliant with FDA and ISO standards. The contracting office is located at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the primary point of contact being Contracting Officer Stephen Fisher. Although the place of performance is listed as Dayton, Ohio, the delivery location is not explicitly defined, and no FOB terms or detailed shipping instructions are provided. The contract does not include any set-aside preferences, and the awardee is not identified as a small or socioeconomic business, suggesting the procurement was conducted as full and open competition. The contract lacks detailed specifications for packaging, inspection, acceptance, and delivery logistics, though the nature of the product implies adherence to sterile, medical-grade handling protocols and federal labeling requirements. No formal clauses from FAR Section I, evaluation factors from Section M, or special requirements from Section H are present in the available documentation, and there are no listed attachments, line-item quantities, or option periods. Invoicing procedures, accounting data, and payment specifics are not detailed beyond the designated payment office address in Indianapolis. The Unique Entity Identifier for Edwards Lifesciences LLC is MR4FCKSNGRC1, but no CAGE code or subcontracting plan is referenced. The absence of information on inspection locations, quality standards, delivery schedules, or electronic invoicing systems indicates that the contract is a streamlined award based on existing commercial product specifications, likely relying on standard federal medical device procurement practices rather than customized terms.
