Medical Insufflator and Air-Oxygen Blender Test Systems

The contract is for the supply of specialized test equipment designed to validate the performance of medical insufflators and air-oxygen blenders used in surgical and critical care environments. These devices require precise calibration and functional verification to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance during procedures, and the equipment must meet stringent technical specifications for accuracy, reliability, and compatibility with existing clinical systems. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically managed by the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17, indicating it is part of a larger procurement framework supporting VA medical facilities. The opportunity was posted on May 4, 2026, with a response deadline set for the same day at 3:00 PM, suggesting a highly time-sensitive procurement process. The NAICS code 423450 classifies this as a wholesale trade activity for medical and surgical equipment, pointing to the involvement of distributors or manufacturers with established distribution channels for healthcare devices. There is no set-aside designation, meaning bids are open to all eligible entities, and no specific place of performance or point of contact is provided, implying the deliverables will be shipped to VA medical centers nationwide without location restrictions. The contract focuses solely on the procurement of test systems, with no indication of installation, training, or ongoing support services being required.
