A central tenet of acquisition reform is to significantly improve the quality of market research by conducting a market and industry survey. One of the main benefits of solid market research is to materially improve the government’s understanding of the current state of the marketplace, including commercial/government best practices, industry capabilities, innovative delivery approaches, commercial market service levels, and performance strategies and measures.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) category and Product Service Code (PSC) category for this requirement are as follows.

NAICS: 334510 – Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Devices

PSC: 6515 - Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies

The upcoming recompete for the Department of Veteran Affairs Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and additional CLINS which will steer the program toward an all-encompassing Electrotherapeutic Modalities emphasis; requires intricate consideration on market research relating to market/industry infrastructure practices and product availability. We intend to address the Buy American Act, Trade Agreement Act, Clin Categories for at home devices, FDA cleared indications of use, mechanisms of delivery, device accessories, procurement process, distribution model, government sales, socioeconomic status of distributors and more. We are also interested in identifying performance criteria that differentiate between and among high-quality products in this field. We believe this information will dramatically improve the quality of the forthcoming acquisition, including the solicitation and resulting contract.

Each company will be allotted forty-five minutes to demonstrate, inform and discuss their companies product or products.
