Stryker System 9 Power Tools

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Erie, PA VA Medical Center, has issued a Brand Name Justification for Stryker surgical power tools. This justification, under Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C244-26-AP-1239, is for an estimated total cost not exceeding $350K. The medical center requires Stryker equipment to support orthopedic procedures, expand surgical capabilities, and reduce reliance on external referrals as part of its Total Joint Program Initiative. The justification emphasizes that Stryker surgical power tool platforms are the current clinical standard, and using alternative brands would be uneconomical and operationally inefficient due to compatibility issues, existing surgeon training, and the risk of procedural delays. Market research, including reviews of GSA Advantage and VA Supply Chain resources, confirmed that Stryker is the only brand meeting the facility's clinical and compatibility requirements. The Contracting Officer, Amanda Saunders, certified the justification as accurate and complete.

This government solicitation, 36C24426Q0304, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, seeks proposals for Stryker System 9 equipment and accessories for the Erie VA Medical Center's Total Joint initiative. The acquisition is a 100% small business set-aside with NAICS code 339112 and a size standard of 1000 employees. The solicitation outlines specific items like sterile battery chargers, various saws, handpieces, and surgical helmets. Offers will be evaluated based on special features, warranty, delivery (30 days ARO to Erie, PA), price, and compliance with the Statement of Need. Quotations require a Letter of Authorization from the OEM and must be emailed to Matthew Clark by February 25, 2026, at 4 PM EST. The contract type will be Firm-Fixed-Price.
