Description
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Pittsburgh Health Care System is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying a full suite of custom surgical procedure packs for its facilities. The effort is not a solicitation for offers; rather, it seeks information on vendor capabilities, product specifications, manufacturing origin, and compliance with FDA sterility requirements. Vendors must be able to produce, label, and deliver a variety of procedure‑specific packs (28 distinct types) in quantities that total roughly 7,200 packs per year, with a 48‑hour delivery requirement and strict traceability and lot‑number controls. The VA will evaluate functional equivalents, encouraging competition beyond brand‑specific solutions.
• 28 distinct custom surgical packs covering anesthesia, arthroscopy, cardiovascular, orthopedic, ENT, eye, and other specialties.
• Estimated annual demand ≈ 7,200 packs (total cases per year listed).
• Requirements: FDA‑registered manufacturing, sterility assurance, no re‑sterilization, traceable lot numbers, weekly inventory reporting, 48‑hour delivery window.
• Vendor must provide detailed product lists, brand/manufacturer information, and evidence of capability (brochures, certifications).
• Submission deadline: 6:00 AM ET, 19 Oct 2026 via email to Jefferson Mann.
• No funding is guaranteed; this is a market‑research effort to potentially shape a future IDIQ contract.
