AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a presolicitation process for the FY26 Recompete of the Electro-Therapeutic Modalities for Pain Management (ETMPM) - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Procurement Program. This enterprise-wide procurement is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under NAICS 334510. The program is a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), utilizing a tiered evaluation order per VAAR 819.7010 that prioritizes SDVOSBs, followed by VOSBs, 8(a)/HUBZone firms, and then other than small businesses. The scope includes the procurement of new, OEM-manufactured medical devices, specifically COTS TENS/IFC/SWD devices (CLINs X001-X004) and Neuromodulation commercial items (CLIN X005). Award selection will be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) for COTS devices and a Best Value Tradeoff for Neuromodulation items, where non-price factors are significantly more important than price. All proposed devices must possess FDA 510(k) market clearance at the time of submission and meet specific Minimum Technical Requirements. The VA emphasizes strict adherence to the Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act, preferring domestic end-products. Key operational requirements include the prohibition of direct shipping to Veterans, as all products must be delivered to the VA Denver Logistics Services facility within 30 days ARO. Additionally, contractors are prohibited from collecting Veteran PII/PHI or requiring device registration, and must provide U.S.-based toll-free technical support. Offerors must provide product samples to the DLS facility and, if acting as distributors, provide authorized distributor letters.

INTRODUCTORY / EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR SAM.gov POSTING
Attachment: FY26 ETMPM–TENS Procurement Program – Consolidated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), is posting the attached Consolidated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document to SAM.gov to ensure that all interested industry partners, those known to the VA and those unknown receive the exact same information, at the same time, and from the same authoritative source. This approach reflects the VA’s commitment to fairness, openness, and strict adherence to Federal procurement integrity requirements throughout the FY26 Electro‑Therapeutic Modalities for Pain Management (ETMPM) – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Procurement Program.
The attached FAQ consolidates all clarifications generated during market research, RFI interactions, and Vendor engagement activities. No proprietary guidance, unequal insights, or individualized direction will be provided to any prospective Offeror outside officially posted public notices. FAR 15.201(e) strictly limits the type of information the Government may provide during exchanges prior to the release of a solicitation; therefore, this consolidated posting serves as the singular, uniformly accessible communication vehicle for presolicitation clarifications.
To preserve the integrity of this competitive procurement, the VA cannot engage in direct, one‑off correspondence with individual Vendors regarding acquisition strategy, evaluation criteria, product eligibility, or any other elements that may advantage one party over another. All inquiries must be directed to the EPO AS4D Contracting Officer only through the formal channels specified in future solicitation documents, and any additional clarifications will be issued publicly through SAM.gov where every stakeholder has equal access.
The VA has taken extensive measures to ensure transparency, consistency, and broad dissemination of program information. These safeguards include:
- Consolidating all vendor questions and Government responses into a single, uniform FAQ document.
- Publishing updates exclusively to SAM.gov to prevent fragmentation or unequal communication.
- Applying strict correspondence controls that prevent private advisory, selective feedback, or privileged insights.
- Ensuring that small businesses, including newly established or previously unknown SDVOSB/VOSB firms receive the same updates as long‑standing industry partners.
- Maintaining traceable, public release points so all parties can rely on one authoritative location for official procurement information.
By issuing this FAQ as a public attachment, the VA reinforces its long‑standing practice of maintaining full procurement integrity, equal‑access communications, and industry‑wide fairness. The VA appreciates the participation and professionalism of all prospective Offerors and looks forward to continued engagement under the formal solicitation once released.
