Interested parties must identify their capability to meet the requirement by May 07, 2026, 12:00 PM Mountain Time.

The required items include various sizes and lengths of AZUR HydroPack 18 Coils, AZUR Helical Detachable 18D Systems, and AZUR CX Detachable 018 systems, along with the AZUR controller. These products are necessary for surgeons to select appropriate coils intraoperatively, ensuring immediate patient care and preventing delays that could risk patient safety.

Rationale for Sole Source
The VA states that the specified embolization coils are proprietary to Terumo, which is the sole manufacturer and authorized distributor. The clinical necessity for surgeons to have a full range of these coils available on-site for intraoperative selection, based on real-time findings, makes immediate access crucial. The absence of these specific coils would lead to delayed procedures and unacceptable risks to patient safety and clinical outcomes.
