Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Sole Source Justification under Simplified Procedures for Commercial Items for the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.201-1. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Office (NCO) 21, is procuring a VELYS Surgical Robot System, including four instrument sets, for the VA Southern Nevada Health Care System (VASHCS).

• VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution

• Four (4) reusable instrument sets, including:

  • Base Station
  • Satellite Station
  • VELYS Power Cable Type B
  • Holding Arm US STD
  • Standard Reusable Instruments Set (comprising multiple specific instrument parts like Saw Handpiece, Saw Interface Left/Right, Array Clamp, Drill Pin Inserter, Device Array Interface, Wash basket, Cleaning Cap, Lug Drill, Patella Caliper, Instrument Tray, etc.)

• Anticipated contract type: Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order.

• Estimated delivery date: 8/1/2026.

• The document does not explicitly state the estimated total value or period of performance beyond the delivery date.

• This is a sole source justification, indicating that offers will not be solicited from multiple sources. The requirement will be synopsized with a notice of intent to sole source to DePuy Synthes Sales Inc. on SAM.gov.

• Anticipated prices will be compared to previous contracts for the VELYS Surgical Robot System to determine fair and reasonable pricing.

• Competition is restricted to only one responsible source: DePuy Synthes Sales Inc.

• Market research did not identify any Small Business Administration (SBA) eligible small businesses capable of meeting the requirement due to the lack of authorized distributors for the specific devices.

• The Non-Manufacturer Rule will not apply, and no set-aside can be held.

• The VELYS system is required for compatibility with the existing ATTUNE Knee system utilized by the facility.

• Repurchasing a different knee system would likely represent government waste.

• The justification cites FAR 12.201-1 and 41 U.S.C. § 1901 as the statutory authority.
