HIGH ENERGY SHOCKWAVE DEVICE PODIATARY SERVICES

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the VISN 7 Network Contracting Activity in Augusta, Georgia, is seeking qualified vendors to provide a high-energy electrohydraulic shockwave device, all necessary consumables, and a certified technician to deliver podiatry services to Veterans suffering from chronic tendinopathies such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, and Metatarsalgia. The solicitation, numbered 36C24726Q0427, is issued as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12, with a firm-fixed-price contract structure anticipated. The requirement is not subject to any small business set-aside, and responses are due by May 18, 2026. Contract performance is expected to begin August 19, 2026, with a base year and four one-year options extending through August 18, 2031, allowing for potential continuity of service. The vendor must provide a detailed cross-reference demonstrating how each service requirement in the Statement of Work is met, along with documented clinical experience in similar podiatry procedures. Evaluation will be based on price, technical acceptability, and past performance, with award determination made using a best-value trade-off process rather than lowest price technically acceptable. All payments will be processed electronically via the VA Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas, using Electronic Funds Transfer through SAM.gov as mandated by FAR 52.232-33, with invoices required to be submitted through the Tungsten Network portal, not WAWF. The contractor must comply with federal labor standards including service contract labor exemptions, equal opportunity for veterans and workers with disabilities, paid sick leave under Executive Order 14026, and anti-human trafficking requirements. Security and supply chain restrictions prohibit the use of ByteDance applications and mandate adherence to federal acquisition supply chain security protocols. Contractors are required to maintain a code of business ethics, protect whistleblower rights, and report executive compensation and first-tier subcontract awards as per FAR 52.204-10. The equipment must be FDA-approved and capable of delivering an energy flux density exceeding 0.2 mJ/mm². All submissions must be a single, complete PDF emailed to the contracting officer by the deadline, and offerors must hold a valid UEI and provide completed SF 1449 forms with all required sections filled. No physical packaging specifications, delivery locations, or contract value estimates are provided, with final pricing to
