The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 21 intends to issue a sole source solicitation for a Firm-Fixed-Priced Purchase Order to Pure Processing, LLC for a custom PureSteel reprocessing sink and ergonomic table. This equipment, designed for the VA Palo Alto Health Care System's Office of Sterile Processing, aims to improve ergonomic use and instrument protection during pre-cleaning. The unique design includes features such as a push-button lifter for adjustable working height, deemed essential for the agency's needs. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The notice serves to inform potential suppliers, inviting them to submit their capabilities by March 25, 2025. While the intent is to negotiate with a single source, the government remains open to considering submissions from other vendors. However, it emphasizes that this does not commit to any contractual obligations, nor will it reimburse any submission-related costs.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) outlines a justification for a single source procurement of a custom PureSteel reprocessing sink and ergonomic table, estimated at $83,795.46, intended for the Office of Sterile Processing at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. The justification highlights that only Pure Processing LLC can provide the necessary customization and meet specific spatial constraints, as market research indicated no alternative vendors with similar capabilities. The requirement is classified as a sole source award, with a comprehensive review of various procurement databases affirming that no other small business vendors could fulfill this need. The Contracting Officer, Mohammed Hussain, certifies the accuracy of this justification, in compliance with federal acquisition regulations. This document's purpose is to ensure proper procurement procedures are followed, particularly in acquiring specialized medical equipment essential for veteran health care services.
