Description

This is a Request For Information (RFI): The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) is requesting responses from qualified businesses capable of providing Surgical and Medical Lasers for the Department of Veterans Affairs. This RFI is for market research purposes only and shall not be considered an Invitation for Bids, Request for Quotations, or a Request for Proposal. Do not submit a proposal or quote. This market research is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Additionally, there is no obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services described in this sources sought. You will not be entitled to payment for direct or indirect costs that you incur in responding to this RFI. Any contract that might be awarded based on information received or derived from this market research will be the outcome of a competitive process. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted or competition sensitive information contained in their response. The Government does not intend to pay for the information submitted in response to this RFI. The purpose of this RFI is to search for information regarding the most recent technology related Medical and Surgical Lasers to include the following: ARGON YAG Nd: YAG Er: YAG YAG; DPSS DPSS DIODE & DIODE PUMPED GREEN TREATMENT BEAM INFRARED DIODE HOLMIUM C02 MULTICOLOR PHOTOCOAGULATION OPTICALLY PUMPTED SEMICONDUCTOR XeCl EXCIMER FEMTOSECOND & EXCIMER The NAICS Code for this requirement is 334510 - Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing.
