Supply of Pascal Implant Medical Device

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contract Office 23, has initiated the procurement of the Pascal Implant, a specialized cardiovascular medical device, via a direct subcontract with the original equipment manufacturer. The contract is structured to ensure the device is delivered straight from the OEM to VA facilities, bypassing intermediaries to maintain quality control and supply chain integrity. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339113, which classifies it within the medical device and equipment manufacturing sector, indicating a focus on high-precision healthcare technology. This contractual arrangement supports the VA’s commitment to providing advanced cardiovascular care to veterans by securing access to a clinically significant implant. The placement of performance and delivery logistics are aligned with VA healthcare system needs, ensuring timely availability for clinical use. Although specific delivery timelines and quantities are not detailed, the structure implies a long-term or recurring supply relationship designed to meet ongoing clinical demands. The absence of set-aside designations suggests this is a full and open competition among qualified manufacturers, with the VA prioritizing device integrity and direct sourcing over socioeconomic preferences.
