6515--Ultrasound Sonosite

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 22, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 36C26226Q1014 to gather market data on the Fujifilm Sonosite ST Ultrasound System for potential future procurement. The RFI seeks detailed technical, compliance, and commercial information from suppliers, with a focus on a compact, bedside-ready ultrasound system featuring an integrated high-resolution monitor and height-adjustable stand, capable of rapid boot-up for emergency and critical care use. The required equipment includes the L31500 unit, three transducers—L19-5, L12-3, and P5-1—each with a five-year manufacturer warranty, along with digital delivery of the User Guide and Service Manual via USB. The system must support vascular, musculoskeletal, abdominal, cardiac, and procedural imaging with application-specific presets and be compatible with the Sonosite Institute’s training platform offering over 100 hours of educational content. Compliance with the Buy American Act, Trade Agreements Act, FDA clearance, and FAR 2.101 definition of commercial off-the-shelf items is mandatory, along with accurate representation of small business status under NAICS code 334510 and adherence to subcontracting limitations under 13 CFR §125.6. The Non-Manufacturer Rule must be addressed if applicable, and suppliers must disclose whether they hold existing Federal Supply Schedule contracts and confirm availability of all items under those contracts. Responses must be submitted via email to Carlo.Manuel@va.gov by 9:00 AM PST on June 26, 2026, and must include the respondent’s SAM.gov Unique Entity ID or CAGE Code, country of origin details for the end product, percentage of domestic content, and any alternative domestic options if the offered system is non-compliant. Pricing information is requested solely for market research purposes and will not be used for evaluation or award. The place of performance for any future contract would be the VA Long Beach Healthcare System warehouse at 5901 E. 7th Street, Long Beach, CA 92800. No contract type, period of performance, delivery schedule, or payment terms are established, as this is strictly a pre-solicitation RFI with no binding obligations. No formal contract clauses, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or evaluation factors are specified in this document, and no award is
