The Department of Veterans Affairs, through VISN 15 Network Contracting Office 15, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of supplying Automated Endoscope Leak Tester systems for the Leavenworth and Topeka VA Medical Centers. This initiative seeks six fully integrated systems, with three designated for each location, along with six wall mount holders. The requirement is based on the Olympus America Inc. ALT-Pro Automated Endoscope Leak Tester or an approved equal, with performance standards mandating dry air leak testing capability, parallel testing of two endoscopes, an automated three-step workflow with RFID scanning, an LCD display with real-time feedback, and storage capacity for up to 13,000 records. The system must be compatible with major endoscope brands including Olympus, Fujifilm, and Pentax, and support both automatic dry testing and manual wet testing modes. Response documentation must include marketing materials demonstrating compliance with salient characteristics, confirmation of the product’s country of origin, and verification that the submitter is an authorized distributor of the manufacturer’s equipment. The vendor must also provide on-site installation including electrical safety verification, RFID calibration, network setup, and diagnostics, followed by hands-on training for up to fifteen clinical staff delivered by a manufacturer-trained representative. All deliverables are contingent upon successful completion of installation and training, requiring submission of comprehensive user documentation, RFID database setup with endoscope specifications, quality assurance protocols aligned with VA standards, training completion certificates, and ongoing support contact information. The government will verify equipment functionality through built-in self-check diagnostics upon startup, system configuration validation, and connectivity testing for electronic data export. While this notice is not a solicitation and no contract will result from responses, responses are critical to inform future acquisition strategy, including potential set-aside determinations under Public Law 109-461 for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses. Companies must submit their responses via email to Matthew Curl by June 29, 2026, including point of contact details, SAM.gov UEI number, small business status, and full company address. No costs associated with responding will be reimbursed, and the government reserves full discretion to modify requirements or proceed with a full and open competition if market interest does not support a set-aside option.
