AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 19, is conducting market research under a Sources Sought announcement to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying specialized surgical instruments for use at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado. This announcement seeks information on potential suppliers of items such as Memory Alloy Nerve Hooks, Scanturian MIS DeBakey Forceps, Carbon-Inlay Needle Holders, Super Cut Scissors, and Chitwood Mini Knot Pushers, all required to meet specific technical criteria including ScanShield™ shaft insulation, precise 2.5mm jaw dimensions, and compatibility with the Scanturian® MIS platform. The instruments must be delivered in original manufacturer-sealed packaging bearing the manufacturer’s name, labeled with the purchase order and contract numbers, and addressed to Edward Jones, Acting Surgery Chief. Compliance with the Buy American Act is mandatory, requiring certification of domestic content, and all respondents must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management. The solicitation number is 36C25926Q0449, with a response deadline of May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time, and submissions must be emailed to eric.adusei@va.gov with the subject line “SOURCES SOUGHT.” Vendors responding are required to disclose their business size according to the NAICS code 339112, which has an 800-employee size standard, and clarify whether they qualify as a small business by not exceeding 500 employees, with verification through SAM required. Respondents must also state whether they are primarily engaged in retail or wholesale trade, whether they take ownership or possession of the items prior to delivery, and whether they will supply end items manufactured by a U.S.-based small business, with exceptions permitted only by waiver under CFR 121.406. The announcement explicitly states that participation in this market research does not obligate the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract, and no costs associated with responses will be reimbursed. Delivery, if awarded, will occur at the Aurora medical center on weekdays between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, excluding federal holidays. No formal contract terms, evaluation factors, invoicing methods, payment details, or military packaging standards are specified at this stage, as this is strictly a pre-solicitation effort to assess market capability and inform future acquisition planning.
