Thulium Fiber Laser System (BRAND NAME ONLY)

The solicitation seeks a Thulium Fiber Laser System under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside, identified by solicitation number 36C25726Q0728 and NAICS code 339112. Proposals must be submitted by July 9, 2026, with the request issued on July 3, 2026, through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17 located in San Antonio, Texas. The system is required for performance at Harlingen, Texas, with the award expected to support medical or surgical applications consistent with VA healthcare missions. Only the brand name of the laser system is specified, indicating a single-source requirement where vendors must respond with the exact product as named, and compliance with SDVOSB certification is mandatory for eligibility. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Michael A. Grier, reachable at 210-996-8817 or michael.grier@va.gov, with Tommy Haire listed as a secondary contact. All submissions must be made through the SAM.gov portal linked in the posting, and bidders are directed to review the attached RFQ for detailed technical specifications, delivery expectations, and contractual terms. The contract type is combined, suggesting potential use of multiple award or flexible ordering mechanisms, though the set-aside status restricts participation to qualified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. No bid samples or prototypes are referenced, and the solicitation imposes strict adherence to the named brand without allowance for equivalent alternatives.
