Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, 2002 Holcombe Boulevard, Houston, TX 77030, USA.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must be authorized vendors of the products offered and ensure that all quoted items are compatible with existing hemodynamic monitoring disposable supplies including Edwards Swan Gantz Catheters and Acumen IQ systems.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior VA contract 36C25622P1517 awarded to Edwards Lifesciences for Hemosphere monitoring systems (approximately $417,900, 09/30/22–09/29/24). The current requirement for Hemosphere ALTA all-in-one advanced monitoring systems and associated modules/cables for the Houston VAMC looks like a continuation of that same Hemosphere monitor supply effort, including replacement of end-of-life systems with newer models. A closely related prior award also exists for Hemosphere ALTA hemodynamic monitors (36C26026P0344 to 1st American Medical Distributors), suggesting ongoing procurement of similar Hemosphere Alta hardware and accessories.
