6530--Ultrasound Tables - FAY

The solicitation pertains to the procurement of ultrasound tables under contract number 6530, with the official solicitation number 36C25626Q0820, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 in Ridgeland, Mississippi. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside, meaning only eligible SDVOSBs may compete, and the NAICS code 339113 classifies the purchase under the manufacturing of medical and dental equipment. The response deadline is July 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET, and the point of contact for inquiries is Michelle D. Atwell, Contract Specialist, reachable via email or phone provided in the contract data. The amendment clarifies that for the nonmanufacturer rule, an SBA waiver is not required as long as the ultrasound table is manufactured by a small business, ensuring compliance with the SDVOSB eligibility criteria without needing an individual waiver. Additionally, the technical submission instructions now reference the Biodex Model 058-710 ultrasound tables or an equivalent model, updating the prior documentation. All other terms, conditions, and requirements of the original solicitation remain in full effect without modification, and the procurement continues to be issued as a combined solicitation for both competitive and noncompetitive award consideration.
