The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21 has issued a Sources Sought Notice (36C26126Q0287) to conduct market research for vendors capable of providing Transcutaneous Monitoring (T-Com) CO2 Monitors. This is not a solicitation but an information-gathering effort to identify Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, Veteran Owned, Women Owned, and other Small Businesses. The requirement is for Medical Treatment Facilities within the VISN 21 service territory. Interested firms must provide company information, point of contact, SAM Unique Entity ID, socio-economic status (verified via VIP for SD/VOSB), applicable Federal Supply Schedule/GSA contracts, capability statements, and an Authorized Distributor Memo by January 6, 2026, 12:00 PM Pacific Time. The NAICS code is 339112 with a small business size of 1,000 employees. This notice is for planning purposes only, and the government will not compensate respondents.
This document outlines the salient characteristics for a Sentec Transcutaneous CO2 monitor, likely for a government procurement request or RFP. It details essential physical, functional, and performance requirements, including measurement parameters (tcpO2 and tcpCO2), accuracy, advanced sensor technology, a high-resolution color touchscreen interface, and configurable alarm systems. Data management features include internal memory and various connectivity options (USB, Ethernet, wireless). The monitor must be portable, compact, lightweight, mobile (preferably on a wheeled stand), and battery-operable. Calibration should be simple, with clear maintenance guidelines and self-diagnostics. Regulatory compliance with international medical device standards (FDA, CE) and a robust design resistant to disinfectants are also required. Optional accessories and software updates are noted. The document identifies the generic product as a T-COM, transcutaneous CO2, or TCM, with applicable model numbers T-COM+ and V-Sign Sensor VS-A/P/N, manufactured by Sentec.
