The document outlines the necessary characteristics of the Fluent Pro System, emphasizing the need for accurate fluid deficit readings, advanced pressure control, and compatibility with existing devices. Interested companies are encouraged to submit their capabilities and comments on how they can meet these requirements, including business size status and compliance with regulations such as the Buy American Act. Additionally, responses should include information on FDA clearance, lead times for delivery, and potential efficiencies regarding subcontracting. Responses are due by August 8, 2025, and highlight this notice’s role in determining future solicitations rather than being a binding solicitation itself. The notice serves as a preliminary step to gauge market capabilities and inform procurement strategies.
