{"description":"Good day, SDVOSB s, VOSB s & SB's\nThis Sources Sought is issued solely for informational and planning purposes only. It does not constitute the issuance of a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research and obtain information from qualified SB businesses. This is not a request for bids, quotes, offers, or proposals. The responses to this announcement will assist in determining the socio-economic status such as a SDVOSB set-aside if feasible. If insufficient SDVOSB responses are received to establish the basis for setting this requirement aside for SDVOSB s, the requirement may be solicited as a VOSB or a SB set aside in which case all interested parties responding shall be eligible to compete. This solicitation will be an FSS NAME BRAND ONLY procurement not open market if there are enough responses for such.\nPlease direct reply in the affirmative via email if you are interested and can provide the required product/service for this requirement. Please provide your capability statement, letter of supply/service /distribution authorization for the exact equipment and supplies.  I will accept responses for this Sources Sought until the 16th of December 2025 14:00HRS, thanks.\nScope of Work: This requirement needs to provide one Neoprobe console, AC power cord, three straight probes and three angled probes NAME BRAND ONLY. \n2.Background: The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA VHA) is seeking procurement of a replacement Neoprobe console, AC power cord, three straight probes and three angled probes. The current console has reached end of life, with over 17 years of continuous use. Currently, we only have one straight probe and one angled probe available, which is insufficient for the number of surgeons using this device. These components are essential for accurate intraoperative gamma detection during sentinel lymph node biopsies and cancer staging procedures performed at Bay Pines VAMC. The current equipment and limited probe inventory do not meet clinical demand, and the aging console cannot be reliably maintained. \n3.Place of Performance: The product is requested to be delivered to Surgery Service, building 100, MOR. 10,000 Bay Pines Blvd, Bay Pines, Florida 33744, via the Warehouse Building 36 for Equipment. \n4.Period of Performance: The product is requested to be delivered no later than January 20th. \n5.Requirement Overview: The Contractor shall provide the full requested quantity of products listed below. \n 5.1 Salient Characteristics \nNAME BRAND - Equipment Requirement:\nQTY. 1 - (P/N: NPCU4) Neoprobe Console Model 2400\nQTY. 3 - (P/N: NPB14S) 14mm Straight Probe \nQTY. 3 - (P/N: NPB14A) 14mm Angled Probe\nQTY. 1 (P/N: NPA75) AC Power Cord \n\nEquipment Requirement:\nMinimum Required Features and Specifications\nConsole Requirements\nMust be a handheld gamma detection system designed for intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping.\nMust include real-time gamma detection with both audible and numerical output.\nMust provide Bluetooth or equivalent wireless connectivity between console and probes.\nMust include an onboard self-calibration function for probe compatibility and accuracy.\nMust display counts-per-second (CPS) or equivalent measurement in real time.\nMust have adjustable audio tone that increases with radiotracer uptake.\nMust operate using Tc-99m radiotracer detection.\nMust have adjustable sensitivity ranges, thresholds, and audio volume.\nMust include internal quality control and diagnostic checks.\nMust be portable, ergonomic, and suitable for sterile OR environments.\n5.2. Probe Requirements (Straight & Angled)\nProbes must be surgical-grade, autoclavable, and able to withstand routine SPS sterilization.\nMust include high-sensitivity solid-state detector crystal suitable for Tc-99m detection.\nMust be available in 14mm straight and 14mm angled configurations.\nMust provide directional shielding to minimize background activity.\nMust be ergonomic for precise navigation during surgery.\nMust include Bluetooth wireless connectivity to the parent console.\nMust be fully compatible with the console s calibration system.\n5.3. Wireless & Calibration Requirements\nConsole and probes must pair using secure, low-latency wireless technology.\nWireless signals must support real-time detection feedback without delay.\nSystem must automatically perform probe verification and calibration on startup.\nSystem must limit pairing to validated, manufacturer-approved probes.\n5.4. Performance Requirements\nMust detect Tc-99m radiotracer signal with high sensitivity for sentinel lymph node biopsy.\nMust offer rapid signal acquisition ( 10 CPS minimum detectable signal or better).\nMust provide stable reading even when handheld or repositioned.\nMust support cancer-related procedures requiring gamma detection.\nMust maintain accuracy and repeatability over the device s lifespan.\n5.5. Sterilization & Infection Control\nProbes must be fully autoclavable.\nMust withstand repeated SPS sterilization cycles without loss of sensitivity.\nMust meet VA infection control standards for OR-use devices.\n5.6. Safety Requirements\nSystem must meet FDA-cleared (510k) requirements for gamma detection.\nConsole must include overload protection, low-battery alerts, and functional test features.\nAll components must include manufacturer documentation for safe handling and OR use.\n5.7. Power & Accessories\nConsoles must operate using OR-compatible power supply.\nMust include an AC power cord compatible with U.S. outlets.\nMust include necessary accessories such as charger, base unit, or equivalent.\n5.8. Warranty & Support\nMust include a minimum 1-year manufacturer warranty on console and probes.\nVendor must provide U.S.-based service, replacement parts, an\n"} Solicitation Number: 36C24826Q0180 Type: Sources Sought Base Type: Sources Sought NAICS: 339112 Classification Code: 6515 Response Deadline: 2025-12-16T14:00:00-05:00 Office Address: TAMPA, FL Place of Performance: Bay Pines, Florida, 33744 POC: Michael A.
