FY26 Recompete of the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Requirement with the inclusion of the new Electro-Therapeutic Modalities for Pain Management (ETMPM) Requirement.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking information from industry partners for the FY26 Recompete of the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Requirement with the inclusion of the new Electro-Therapeutic Modalities for Pain Management (ETMPM) Requirement. The goal is to ensure uninterrupted, nationwide availability of ETMPM and TENS devices across all VA facilities. The procurement effort aims to standardize clinical equipment, establish stable pricing, and improve supply chain efficiency. The key objectives of this procurement are: • Ensure uninterrupted, nationwide availability of ETMPM and TENS devices across all VA facilities. • Standardize clinical equipment to promote consistency of care, safety, and treatment outcomes for Veterans. • Establish stable, volume-based Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to secure predictable pricing across the full contract lifecycle. • Improve supply chain efficiency through centralized distribution at the Denver Logistics Center (DLS) and electronic order processing via ROES. • Expand product availability to include device types supporting multiple modalities of non-opioid pain management. • Reduce program risk by eliminating rental, lease, subscription, or usage-based business models that conflict with VA acquisition regulations. • Maintain Veteran safety through FDA-compliant devices, OEM warranty standards, and strict prohibition of gray-market goods.
