Regulatory and Compliance Support for Medical Device Supply Chain

The contract requires compliance with U.S. federal prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment as outlined in FAR 52.240-90/91 and Section 889 of the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act, specifically focusing on ensuring that all components of PAL devices within the medical device supply chain are free from equipment or services produced by prohibited foreign entities. This obligation extends to all tiers of the supply chain and mandates rigorous validation processes to confirm that no covered telecommunications equipment or services are used, incorporated, or otherwise present in the devices or systems being supplied. The subcontract is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under SBA regulations, meaning only small businesses are eligible to bid, and it falls under NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services likely related to regulatory compliance and supply chain risk mitigation. Performance is centered in Durham, North Carolina, with a response deadline of July 7, 2026, and the contracting office is the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 246-NETWORK Contracting Office 6 (36C246).
