6515--WATCHPAT 1 DEVICE (VA-26-00066415)

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Network Contracting Office 17 is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the procurement of the WatchPAT 1 device, a portable sleep study monitoring system powered by a single AAA battery. This device, with dimensions of 60mm by 55mm by 18mm and OEM part number AC2150800, is intended solely for sleep study applications. The notice seeks responses from businesses capable of providing this equipment, especially emphasizing vendors with manufacturing capabilities in the United States. Small businesses, including Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and other certified small business categories, are particularly encouraged to respond, along with those holding GSA or VA Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Interested parties must submit detailed information including company contact details, SAM registration, business size and type, and proof of OEM authorization if acting as a distributor or reseller. Pricing estimates are to be included to assist the VA in determining the procurement approach, which may range from a set-aside to unrestricted competition, and consideration will be given to small business pricing fairness. Responses should be emailed to the designated contract specialist by the deadline of May 21, 2026. The notice clarifies that submissions do not constitute offers, and costs incurred in responding will not be reimbursed. The outcome of this research will inform whether the VA proceeds with a solicitation, with all evaluations and decisions remaining at the agency’s discretion.
