The laser is the only FDA cleared C02 laser currently available in the commercial market that has the capability to deliver two distinct energy deliver pulse modes: Continuous Wave and UltraPulse. This capability gives surgeons the ability to choose which power mode is the best application for the patient; thereby, ensuring a well balanced thermal impact to control the amount of hemostasis and as a result, produce better results. The staff are well-trained and familiar with the Lumenis UltraPulse Duo laser s operation and acquiring a different brand or model would incur additional expenses related to staff training and education. More importantly, a different branded laser providing these pulse modes would not be FDA approved. Also, standardizing to a single model across Boston campuses would streamline efficiency and significantly reduce inventory costs for disposables associated with the laser, such as fibers. Additionally, the Lumenis UltraPulse Duo Laser is upgradeable giving the facilities future capability to add advanced applications through a simple software update. No other CO2 laser system manufacturers on the market provide this capability. A letter of authorization was provided which states Melling LLC dba Melling Medical is the sole source distributor of all Lumenis branded products into the Federal Government and is included in this report and on file.","origin":"extract"},"notice_type":{"code":"a","label":"Award Notice"},"schema_version":1,"solicitation_number":"36C24125N0897","product_service_code":"6515"},{"award":{"date":"2025-05-14","amount":"87864.79","number":"36F79718D036536C24125N0897","awardee":{"raw":"RICHARD WOLF MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS CORP VERNON HILLS 60061","name":"RICHARD WOLF MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS CORP VERNON HILLS 60061"}},"dates":{"posted":"2025-05-14","award_date":"2025-05-14"},"links":{"sam":"https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/dff9620c03ac43e89ec82fff7ef524b7/view"},"naics":{"codes":["339112"],"primary":"339112"},"title":"6515--Richard Wolf Medical Piranha Morcellation System","agency":{"office":{"code":"36C241","name":"241-NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 01 (36C241)"},"subtier":{"code":"3600","name":"VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF"},"department":{"code":"036","name":"VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF"},"office_address":{"zip":"04330","city":"TOGUS","state":"ME","country":"USA"},"organization_type":"OFFICE"},"status":{"active":false,"archive_date":"2025-07-13","archive_type":"auto_custom"},"contacts":[{"name":"Kim McCarthy","role":"primary","email":"kim.mccarthy@va.gov","phone":"774-826-4806","title":"Contracting Specialist"}],"base_type":{"code":"a","label":"Award Notice"},"notice_id":"dff9620c03ac43e89ec82fff7ef524b7","provenance":{"extract":{"url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/falextracts/Contract%20Opportunities/Archived%20Data/FY2025_archived_opportunities.csv","etag":"\"d47226e3d2c6545974b252e103f82b34-139\"","fetched_at":"2026-09-16T17:45:50.850439Z","row_sha256":"6d976e262683b9bb065c705744c13536ff785f7be208b105450829e631498476","last_modified":"2026-09-13T14:49:20Z"},"updated_at":"2026-09-16T17:45:50.850439Z","first_seen_at":"2026-09-16T17:45:50.850439Z"},"description":{"text":"This contract was awarded as a firm-fixed price but not competed due to the following: VAMC Providence is in need of the Piranha Morcellation System comprising a laser resectoscope, morcescope, and morcellator for treatment of prostate or other morcellation procedures to remove enucleated tissue without the need to change sheaths and continuous irrigation sheaths during a procedure. Enucleation is a very niche procedure and is not performed widely due to the expertise needed but is one of the most effective.

There are two other Morcellation devices that were identified in the market place. The first is the VersaCut by OEM Boston Scientific which is not in wide use and not very effective taking a lot longer to morcellate the tissue than the requested Piranha potentially leading to unnecessary delays and potential complications. The second identified is the Storz DrillCut morcellator which did produce higher efficacy in morcellation when compared with the Piranha, however it was associated with more malfunctions. Both Morcellators have comparable rates of complications and perioperative outcomes which would adversely affect veteran care. Additionally, the Olympus scopes that have been recently leased via a VISN-wide contract would not be compatible and all new scopes would be required to be purchased which has not been budgeted for. Market Research found OEM, Richard Wolf, as the sole manufacturer and confirmed a FSS contract vehicle. The OEM also identified SDVOSB Veterans health (ERA) as a small business partner which holds an ECAT contract; however, based on the ECAT ordering hierarchy guidance, an order off ECAT may not be made if an IDV is available.
