The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying and installing vascular diagnostic equipment at the George E. Wahlen Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The equipment must perform a comprehensive range of vascular examinations including ABIs with Doppler or PPG, segmental pressures, post-exercise studies, Doppler and PVR waveforms, toe pressures, venous reflux assessments, Allen’s and Palmer Arch Compression tests, and Raynaud’s evaluations using PPG or infrared technology. The system must include a touch-screen monitor compliant with infection control standards, a designated cart with storage for all accessories, a printer, a sealed backlit keyboard with preferred battery-powered operation, and a complete set of accessories such as 5MHz and 8MHz Doppler probes, PPG sensors with digit clips, multiple sizes of blood pressure cuffs, an automatic cuff inflator, and a temperature gun. Full DICOM/PACS compatibility is required for integration with the VA’s imaging network, and the vendor must coordinate with VA IT, biomedical, and PACS teams to ensure secure, seamless data transmission. On-site installation and comprehensive staff training must be completed upon delivery.

This is a pre-solicitation Request for Information issued under FAR 15.201(e), not a solicitation or contract, and responses are for market research only; no pricing or formal offer is expected at this stage. The acquisition is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, and all submissions must be unclassified and limited to the requested information. The VA will use this input to determine future procurement strategy, including potential set-asides, but no award or contract will result from this notice. The equipment must be delivered to 500 Foothill Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84148, and the notice explicitly states that responses are voluntary, at the vendor’s own expense, and do not constitute an offer or binding commitment by the Government.
