Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically VISN 22, is conducting a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential qualified sources for custom surgical packs. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. The VA seeks to understand industry capabilities, socioeconomic status, and size classification of vendors capable of supplying these packs to the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and VA Long Beach Healthcare System. Responses are due by March 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for custom sterile procedure packs tailored for scheduled procedures in the Operating Room, Interventional Radiology, and Cardiac Catheterization Lab. The contractor will be responsible for pack assembly, manufacture, sterilization, quality assurance, packaging, electronic communication, ordering, reporting, and delivery. Key requirements include:

  • Providing all labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and supervision.
  • Producing and delivering initial orders within 24 weeks of contract commencement.
  • Maintaining a 3-month supply on hand and a 95% acceptance rate.
  • Ensuring packs have a minimum shelf life of 12 months at delivery.
  • Delivering to specific warehouse locations at VA Greater Los Angeles and VA Long Beach.
  • Managing component changes (up to twice a year) and approved substitutions.

Detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) for various packs (e.g., Angiogram, Cataract, Laparotomy, Intubation Kits) are provided in attached documents for both facilities, outlining specific items and estimated quantities.

The Non-Manufacturer Rule (13 CFR § 121.406) and Buy American Act (FAR 52.225-1, FAR 52.225-2) will apply to any subsequent acquisition.
