New - LENSX FEMTO LASER Brand Name or Equal

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17, is soliciting quotes for a brand name or equal LenSx Femtosecond Laser System to support ophthalmic surgical services at the North Texas Veterans Health Care System in Dallas, Texas. This procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The contractor is required to provide all labor, equipment, installation, calibration, training, and a one-year manufacturer's warranty for a system capable of performing capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisions. The equipment must be FDA-cleared and meet specific safety and quality standards, including IEC 60601 and ISO 13485, while complying with VA electrical and facility safety standards. The government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract based on the best overall value, utilizing a comparative evaluation methodology that allows for technical tradeoffs. To be considered technically acceptable, offerors must demonstrate capabilities such as high-resolution real-time imaging and customizable surgical parameters. Submissions must be divided into two separate volumes: a technical capability volume and a price volume. Proposals are due by September 15, 2026, and must include a fully executed SF 1449, an authorization letter confirming the offeror's ability to sell and service the device, and country of origin documentation.
