Surgical Laser Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 15 in Leavenworth, Kansas, is soliciting surgical laser rental services under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a five-year ordering period, running from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031. The procurement, identified by solicitation number 36C25526Q0206, is a full and open competition under NAICS code 532490 with a size standard of $40 million in average annual revenue. Offerors must provide firm-fixed-price quotes for the rental of surgical laser systems—including Holmium, CO2, KTP, and GreenLight lasers—along with certified technicians, accessories, disposables, and maintenance support, all delivered to the Kansas City VA Medical Center. The contract requires FOB destination delivery, with inspection and acceptance performed by the Government upon arrival. Pricing details are left blank in the schedule, but the contract ceiling is capped at $40 million based on the NAICS size standard. Submissions must be received electronically by March 9, 2026, and must include both a priced component and an unmarked non-priced technical response addressing capability and past performance, with no page or word limits specified. The evaluation will be conducted using a best-value trade-off process, prioritizing technical capability and past performance over price, and will not follow a lowest-price technically acceptable approach. Contract administration is governed by FAR and VAAR clauses, including provisions for indefinite quantity orders, an option to extend services for up to six months, and strict security prohibitions against covered telecommunications equipment and foreign entities on the OFAC SDN list. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid UEI, submit invoices electronically through the VA’s EIPP system using X12 EDI formats, and comply with numerous socioeconomic representations including small business, HUBZone, WOSB, EDWOSB, and SDVOSB certifications, all of which require current SBA verification. The contracting officer, Betty Flores, serves as the primary point of contact, and no COR or COTR roles are designated. All marking, packaging, and preservation details are to be determined upon award, and no specific MIL-STDs are referenced, though the ASSIST website may provide applicable standards.
