SomnoFlo Electronic Vaporizer Systems Brand Name or Equal

This Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (RFQ 36C24226Q0971) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 2, seeks quotes for four SomnoFlo Electronic Vaporizer Systems (brand name or equal) and associated accessories. The equipment is required by the Research and Development Service at the VA New Jersey Health Care System in East Orange, NJ, to establish four dedicated, low-flow anesthetic delivery stations for rodent surgeries. The procurement is unrestricted under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Key salient characteristics of the electronic vaporizer systems include direct-to-animal connection, weight-based anesthesia calculation, utilization of ambient air to eliminate oxygen tank requirements, low flow rates (50mL/min to 1L/min), and compatibility with isoflurane and sevoflurane without annual maintenance. In order to be considered, offers must submit pricing, technical specifications, warranty terms, a Letter of Supply, and an estimated delivery date (not to exceed 30 days after receipt of order). Awards will be based on a best-value determination, with evaluation factors ranked in order of importance: technical capability (most important), past performance, price, and estimated delivery time (least important). Quotes must be submitted electronically to Contract Specialist Patricia Tolini at patricia.tolini@va.gov by September 18, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
