How to bid on E14CL4B Biplane Transducer for Veterans Affairs
What the VA is buying and why it matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research to find sources for two E14CL4B Biplane Endocavity Transducers and two reprocessing stainless-steel trays. These items are needed by the VA North Texas Health Care System's Urology Surgical Service. The current transducers are not working, and additional equipment is mandatory to support critical cancer diagnoses and an increasing patient population.
This is an opportunity for businesses to inform the VA about their capabilities to supply these specific medical devices. Your response helps the VA determine potential set-asides for a future solicitation.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are due by August 7, 2026, at 11:00 AM Central Time (12:00 PM Eastern Time). This is a market research notice, not a formal solicitation for offers. The VA will use the information gathered to plan for a future purchase.
It is important to submit your response by the deadline. Late submissions may not be considered in the VA's market research.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can supply E14CL4B Biplane Endocavity Transducers and the associated reprocessing trays. The VA is specifically interested in whether U.S. manufacturers can provide these items.
Businesses with various socioeconomic statuses, such as Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), 8(a), HUBZone, or Woman-Owned (WOSB), are encouraged to respond. If you hold a GSA or VA FSS contract, that information is also relevant.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you must email your information to the Contract Specialist, Mr. Rafael Rodriguez, at [email protected]. The subject line of your email must state: 36C25726Q0689, Sources Sought Notice.

Tips for a competitive response
Even though this is market research, a clear and complete response is beneficial. Ensure all requested business and registration details are accurate and up-to-date, especially your SAM registration information.
Clearly state if you are a U.S. manufacturer, as the government is specifically looking for this information. If you have relevant socioeconomic designations or existing contract vehicles, highlight them to show your eligibility and experience.
