Automatic Electronic Blood Pressure Monitors for Home-Use

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking Automatic Electronic Blood Pressure Monitors for home use by veterans through a pre-solicitation Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 36C79126Q0009, posted on May 14, 2026, with responses due by May 28, 2026. The procurement aims to acquire clinically validated devices that integrate seamlessly with the VA’s Share My Health Data (SMHD) app via Bluetooth 4.0+ compliance based on IEEE 11073-10407-2020 standards, ensuring secure, HIPAA-compliant, and FedRAMP-aligned data transmission. Devices must feature a minimum 3-inch backlit display, store at least 60 readings with timestamps, include irregular heartbeat detection aligned with 2025 AHA guidelines, and offer multiple latex-free arm cuffs sized for 16–44 cm arm circumferences with clear labeling indicating sensor placement and cuff fit ranges. Each unit must be supplied with a carrying case, have battery and AC power options, and come with bilingual English/Spanish instructions and a minimum one-year warranty. Compliance with FDA 510(k) clearance, IEC 60601-1, IEC 80601-2-30, ISO 81060-2, and AMA’s Validated Device Listing is mandatory, and products must be Trade Agreements Act compliant with verified country of origin. Vendors must be registered in SAM, possess a valid UEI and CAGE code, and submit responses using a prescribed Microsoft Excel workbook template with specific tabs covering technical specifications, compliance, supply chain, and socioeconomic status. Responses are to be emailed by the deadline to Bradley Geghan and Bryan Crist at the VA, with a required subject line format. While no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or pricing details are included in this presolicitation phase, the VA has identified the Denver Logistics Center in Golden, Colorado as the primary place of performance and the Hines, Illinois office as the administrative contracting location. EDI via ANSI X.12 is mandated for invoicing, and vendors may be required to support annual technical refreshes. The RFI also invites interest from small businesses, including SDVOSBs, 8(a), WOSBs, and HUBZone firms, though no set-aside has been designated. Selection will likely consider technical compliance
