The contract will be for Veterans Health Supply Solutions for the acquisition of the Procept BioRobotics AquaBeam Robotic System for the Syracuse VA Medical Center in Syracuse, New York. This system, used to perform Aquablation therapy, will include essential components such as VP0052 sterilization trays (4 ea), SC2000 AquaBeam scopes (4 ea), VP0067 short tray holders (2 ea), VP0070 long tray holder (1 ea), and an APOGEE 2300 ultrasound set with ECBP-1 probes (2 ea). Determination of this single source procurement is in accordance with FAR 6.302-5 Only One Responsible Source and in conjunction with VAAR 819.7008. No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements per 41 U.S.C. § 1901 and as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) and 13.501(a). It is the Government s belief that the proposed candidate is the only vendor capable of providing the required items, as they are the only authorized SDVOSB vendor to sell the Procept Bio-Robotic s products needed for this requirement. The manufacturer has only one authorized distributor of their products. To enhance the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at their facility, the Urology Services at the Syracuse VA Medical Center is requesting AquaBeam Robotic System for Aquablation therapy. This minimally invasive, robotically assisted treatment utilizes a heat-free waterjet to precisely remove excess prostate tissue, offering lower re-operation rates and potentially fewer side effects compared to other available surgical treatments for BPH, such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Aquablation therapy is the only BPH treatment that uses a heat-free waterjet for tissue removal. By acquiring this equipment, the Syracuse VA Medical Center can expand its treatment capabilities and reduce the need to send patients to other institutions for care. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334510 and the size standard is 1,250 employees.
