From the notice

The VA Healthcare System (VAHCS) at Bay Pines, Florida, intends to award on a Sole Source basis. Seeks to procure Penumbra Lightning Flash intelligent aspiration catheters to support mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) procedures performed by Bay Pines VAHCS providers. These single-use, FDA-cleared endovascular aspiration catheters are used to remove thrombus (blood clots) from vessels during emergent and scheduled vascular procedures, including the treatment of acute vascular occlusion. The catheters operate in conjunction with the facility's existing Penumbra System, including the ENGINE aspiration pump and associated aspiration tubing. This procurement will aid in the prompt, safe, and effective treatment of Veterans requiring thrombectomy. This is a one-time supply purchase. The proposed source is USVETSERV LLC., Greenville, SC. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification prior to the response due date and time. The proposed NAICS 339112 is applicable to this acquisition; with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Parties may identify their interest, accompanied by supporting documentation to the Contracting Officer no later than 10/23/2026 at 4:30PM EST. Responses should be sent to [email protected]. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement will be solely up to the government.
