    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a federal contract for the supply of the Brainlab Kick Surgical Navigation System, a specialized medical device. The VA Network Contracting Office in Hampton, Virginia plans to sole-source the procurement to Lovell Government Services LLC, the authorized distributor of the system.

    The VA requires this equipment for the Kernersville Health Care Center, specifically for its Surgical Services department. The standardized and compatible nature of the system is crucial for patient safety in ENT sinus surgeries, ensuring a seamless integration with existing instrument sets.

    Given the proprietary nature of the system, the VA has justified the single-source approach under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. While expressions of interest from other suppliers are welcome until July 30, 2024, the VA does not plan to initiate a competitive procurement process.

    The contract, worth an estimated $250,000, is anticipated to be awarded on August 1, 2024, but the VA emphasizes that this date is subject to change at their discretion.

    For further information, potential applicants should contact Donald V. Harris, the Contract Specialist, via email at donald.harris@va.gov.
