6515--NX EQ Physiologic Motility Analyzers (EndoFLIP)

This federal Justification and Approval (J&A) document outlines the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price requirements contract for the Medtronic EndoFLIP™ 300 (Functional Lumen Imaging Probe) and related accessories. Executed by the Enterprise Procurement Office on behalf of the Veterans Health Administration's Office of Supply Chain, the unrestricted procurement has an estimated value of $7,772,653.33 over a 60-month ordering period. The acquisition is part of the VA's Equipment Life Cycle Management Program, aiming to standardize gastrointestinal diagnostic equipment across its facilities to improve patient safety, reduce training complexity, and lower maintenance costs. The Medtronic EndoFLIP™ 300 is justified under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as "Only One Responsible Source" due to its proprietary, patented impedance planimetry technology. This unique system provides real-time, radiation-free, three-dimensional assessments of GI sphincter function and includes therapeutic dilation capabilities not offered by alternative products. Market research conducted between November 2025 and April 2026, including a Request for Information, confirmed that no other equipment can meet these specialized clinical requirements. While two Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses expressed written interest in the solicitation, Medtronic remains the proprietary manufacturer. The contracting officer will ensure fair and reasonable pricing by comparing quotes against historical prices, commercial price lists, and independent government cost estimates. Future requirements will continue to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to identify potential competitive opportunities.
