THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Regional Procurement Office West (RPOW), Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 5, Health Service Area (HSA) 5.2, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21, on behalf of VA San Francisco Health Care System (VASFHCS), intends to issue a sole source firm-fixed contract for a potential commercial supply requirement supporting the existing firm-fixed price contract for a Siemens Skyra Coldhead RDE-412L4 at VASFHCS.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 339112 - Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. The Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard is 1000 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 6515 - Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.

It is the Government's belief that only the proposed vendor possesses the required capabilities to successfully meet this requirement. The proposed vendor SIEMENS MEDICAL SOLUTIONS USA, INC is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Siemens Skyra Coldhead RDE-412L4 (11472997). This equipment is very complex and is set to replace the current piece of equipment that is critical to Veteran care. The San Francisco VA Health Care System currently operates a Siemens Skyra MRI and has a requirement to replace the Coldhead.

This notice satisfies the requirement at RFO 5.101. Additionally, IAW RFO 5.101 all interested responsible sources may submit a quotation, bid, or proposal, as appropriate, which will be considered by the agency. All interested offers MUST have an active vendor record in SAM.gov, under the identified NAICS code and NOT have any exclusions such as a delinquent federal debt or debarment.

If you are interested in the above requirement, please provide supporting evidence in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement by 11/05/2026 via email to shaun.owen@va.gov and ensure that the subject line includes: RFQ no. 36C26127Q0100. Responses will be considered by the Government; however, a determination by the Government not to complete the proposed acquisition based upon responses of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Interested firms should submit a concise capability statement that includes:

  • Company name.
  • UEI and CAGE code.
  • Point of contact name, title, email address, and phone number.
  • Business size under NAICS 339112 and Socioeconomic status, if any.
