J065--Surgical Instrument Repair and Maintenance

This contract, identified as 36C24826Q0757, is a sole-source, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 339112 for surgical and dental instrument repair and maintenance services across three Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities: Miami, West Palm Beach, and Broward in Florida. The base performance period begins September 25, 2026, and extends through September 24, 2027, with four optional one-year periods through September 24, 2031, subject to government discretion. The work requires comprehensive onsite and offsite repair services, including inspection, cleaning, sharpening, alignment, lubrication, and replacement of damaged components, with a mandate to complete at least 90% of repairs onsite the same day and return offsite repairs within five business days. All repairs must comply with original equipment manufacturer specifications, AAMI standards, VHA Directive 1116, The Joint Commission requirements, and ISO certification benchmarks. Contractors must use video endoscopes to inspect lumened instruments, maintain an electronic dashboard for instrument status and repair history, and submit photographic documentation with electronic service reports. Performance is governed by strict compliance with federal regulations and special contractual provisions including prohibitions against using unmanned aircraft systems containing software from Foreign Adversary Controlled Software (FASC) listed entities, restrictions on telecommunications equipment from Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, and Dahua under Section 889 of the NDAA, and bans on acquiring supplies or services from OFAC-sanctioned entities. The contractor is prohibited from paying more than 50% of total government payments to non-SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors and must indemnify the government against claims of patent, trademark, or copyright infringement. Invoicing is exclusively electronic through the OB10 system, with payments processed via electronic funds transfer to the VA Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas. Proposals must be submitted via email as a combined PDF or Word document not exceeding 5MB, with submission deadline August 6, 2026. Award will be made using a trade-off methodology based on best overall value, considering technical capability, past performance, and price—not as a lowest-price technically acceptable procurement. The contracting officer, William L. Bridger, is the sole point of contact, with no assigned COR or COTR. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses
