Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a sole source contract for the procurement of a BK Specto Ultrasound Unit and associated probes for urologic procedures, effective October 1, 2024. This procurement is necessitated by the discontinuation of critical disposable biopsy guides for existing ultrasound probes, which has severely limited the operational capacity of the urology department, leaving them reliant on a single remaining probe. The BK Specto Ultrasound Unit is essential for conducting prostate biopsies and ensuring effective patient care in urology, following the obsolescence of previous equipment. Interested suppliers may submit capability statements to Contract Specialist Barry Sawyer at Barry.Sawyer@va.gov by September 30, 2024, at 4:00 PM (ET), as this notice is not a request for quotes.
