Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center, is soliciting proposals for Phantom Cervical Medical Instruments (surgical-grade instrumentation). This Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside aims to replenish surgical trays due to a recent discovery of non-conforming instruments, ensuring immediate support for surgical cases and compliance with VHA Directives. Proposals are due May 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM EDT.
Scope of Work
This solicitation, identified as 36C24726Q0533, requires high-quality stainless steel surgical instruments that are autoclavable, compatible with standard sterilization, and clearly marked with catalog numbers and barcodes. Instruments must exhibit high resistance to wear, rust, and damage. Specific items include various blunt, paddle, short/long tooth, and micro blades, retractors, a screwdriver, a cervical depth gauge, and instrument trays. The solution must leverage the Phantom ML Angled Articulated Arm to hold the Phantom CS retractor. Instruments will be delivered unsterile, requiring reprocessing by the Sterile Processing Service (SPS). Manufacturers must comply with VA vendor policies and provide manufacturing location information.
