9999--COMBOLAB UPGRADE

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Louis Stokes Cleveland Medical Center, plans to upgrade its existing ComboLab systems, which integrate electrophysiology and hemodynamics into a single recording system. This procurement will be conducted as a sole-source contract under VAAR 819.7007, targeting a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), specifically TrillaMed. The contract aligns with NAICS code 334510, which pertains to the manufacturing of electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, and adheres to a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. TrillaMed is the selected source due to its status as an SDVOSB and its ability to provide compatible upgrades for the two existing ComboLab systems at the facility. Although the VA intends to negotiate exclusively with TrillaMed, other interested parties were invited to express their interest and demonstrate capability by March 18, 2022, to determine if the procurement should be opened to competition. This notice clarifies that the decision to proceed solely with TrillaMed is at the VA's discretion, and information provided by interested respondents will not incur any cost or obligation for the government. No formal solicitation has been released yet, and all inquiries must be directed to Rachelle Hamer at the provided contact information with a specific reference to the ComboLab Upgrade solicitation number. The contract administration is managed through the VA Network Contract Office 10, located in Dayton, Ohio.
