Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a firm-fixed-price contract to Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions. This procurement is for Procept BioRobotics Aquabeam Robotic System ECBP-1 Probes (4 ea.) and SC2000 AquaBeam Scopes (4 ea.) for the Syracuse VA Medical Center to support Aquablation therapy. The VA justifies this sole-source action under FAR 6.103-1 and VAAR 819.7008, as Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions is identified as the only authorized Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) vendor for these proprietary products.
Scope of Requirement
The required items, four ECBP-1 Probes and four SC2000 AquaBeam Scopes, are essential backups for use during Aquablation therapy procedures in the operating room. These components are proprietary to the recently acquired AquaBeam Robotic System, and no other products on the market are compatible.
