6515--Brand Name or Equal - Olympus Flexible ENT Scope System

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources—small, disadvantaged, veteran‑, HUB‑zone, 8(a), women‑owned, or large businesses—that can supply a brand‑name or equal Olympus Flexible ENT Scope System for the VA Iowa City Health Care System. The requirement falls under NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) with an SBA size standard of 1,000 employees. Respondents must provide primary company information (name, point‑of‑contact, email, phone, Unique Entity ID) and indicate their size classification. The draft Statement of Work (attached) describes the replacement of a 13‑year‑old flexible rhinolaryngoscope used by the ENT service; vendors should note the potential applicability of Buy‑American clauses (52.225‑1, 52.225‑2) and, if not the manufacturer, must supply an authorized distributor letter. Responses are non‑binding statements of interest, not offers, and will be used solely for acquisition planning; a formal solicitation may follow, possibly via GSA eBuy for schedule‑holders. All comments on the draft SOW should be included in the response. Submissions are due by 05 May 2026, 1700 Mountain Time, via email to Contract Specialist Dennis Salmonsen (dennis.salmonsen@va.gov) with “36C26326Q0317” in the subject line.
