The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Network Contracting Office 15 in Leavenworth, Kansas, is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing Vein Visualization Systems to the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. This sources sought notice, posted on May 11, 2026, with responses due by May 22, 2026, seeks information on products that meet the “AccuVein or equal” requirement, focusing on handheld, non-invasive devices that use near-infrared light at approximately 850 nm to project real-time vein images onto the skin for improved venous access during medical procedures. Each system must include a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, operate on 100–240V AC input, feature a hands-free, wheeled, goose-neck adjustable stand, be lightweight and easy to clean, and come with a 12-month device warranty and a 9-month battery warranty. Respondents are required to submit their company details including SAM.gov UEI, socioeconomic status, point of contact, product marketing literature demonstrating functional equivalence to the specified brand, country of origin, and authorization as a distributor of the manufacturer’s product. The notice explicitly states this is not a solicitation, does not obligate the government to award a contract, and provides no pricing, delivery schedules, or contract value estimates. The VA is mandated under Public Law 109-461 to consider a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) if viable responses are received; however, no set-aside is currently applied. If insufficient responses are received from SDVOSBs, the agency may pursue an alternate small business set-aside or proceed with a full and open competition. The place of performance is clearly defined as the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas, and inspection and acceptance will be based on compliance with the specified salient physical, functional, and performance characteristics outlined in the Statement of Work, with no reference to formal standards such as MIL-STD-129 or ISO specifications. Packaging, preservation, labeling, and invoicing requirements are not detailed, and no contract administration or payment information is included since this is a pre-solicitation market research effort. Responses must be submitted by email to matthew.curl@va.gov and may be used solely to inform future procurement decisions, with no reimbursement provided for vendor costs incurred in responding. All submitted
