    The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation for the procurement, delivery, and installation of the AVVIGO Guidance System, specifically from Boston Scientific. This RFQ number 36C25025Q0317 is set to close on March 6, 2025, at 4 PM ET. The requirement includes specific items such as a touchscreen medical-grade tablet and a Permanent Sled, with requests for quotes detailing unit prices and total costs. The VA Medical Center in Indianapolis is the place of performance, and interested vendors must comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. Only new items with full manufacturer warranties are accepted. The evaluation for contract award will focus on price, functional compliance, warranty details, and delivery schedule. Contractors must also provide necessary certifications and are subject to limitations on subcontracting, particularly favoring service-disabled and veteran-owned businesses. Responses should convey acceptance of the solicitation terms. Vendors are encouraged to reach out via email for inquiries, and late submissions will be handled according to FAR guidelines.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically Network Contracting Office 10 (NCO 10), is soliciting proposals from Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses for the purchase of the AVVIGO Integrated Guidance System, a cardiac mapping device, to be employed at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, IN. The system includes a touchscreen tablet, a power supply, and support components that will enhance the center's electrophysiology program by providing advanced blood pressure monitoring capabilities integrated with current technologies. Key requirements include a one-year warranty, preventative maintenance every 12 months, and 24/7 technical support during procedures. The vendor will also be responsible for on-site user training for staff. Installation should minimize disruptions, and thorough testing is required to validate the system's performance while ensuring no access to sensitive VA information. The initiative underscores the VA's commitment to improving patient care through advanced medical technology and supporting veteran-owned businesses in the procurement process.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is justifying a single-source acquisition of the AVVIGO Mobile Guidance System from Boston Scientific, essential for its Cardiology Department. Due to the high demand for this technology in complex coronary stenting procedures, the current AVVIGO system, which is shared with the surgery department, is inadequate. The AVVIGO system's unique capabilities, especially in managing complex lesions, enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes, making it irreplaceable. The justification cites thorough market research, indicating that no alternative products meet the VA's stringent requirements. The OEM confirmed that Boston Scientific is the sole provider and that Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, LLC is the only authorized reseller. This acquisition, exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not reaching $250K (simplified acquisition threshold), is therefore deemed necessary, aligning with federal regulations outlined in FAR 13.106-1. The contracting officer's certification further validates this decision, underscoring the urgency of providing specialized medical equipment to ensure optimal care for veteran patients at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis.
