The VA Network Contracting Office 6 is running market research for custom sterile surgical packs for the operating rooms at the Asheville VA Medical Center in North Carolina. This is a Sources Sought notice only, so it is not a request for quotes and no contract is promised. Interested companies send a capability statement by email by 30 October 2026.
Watch out for
- Market research only. Responding does not secure a contract, the Government will not pay for your response, and a real solicitation may come later or not at all.
This notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to ultimately award a contract
- No pack contents or quantities given. The notice lists pack names but not what goes in each pack, how many are needed, or how often, so you cannot price or judge fit yet.
- Short list has a repeated item. Hysterectomy Pack appears twice, so ask whether two different packs are meant.
