How to bid on Titan V4 Middle Ear Analyzer for Veterans Affairs
What the VA is buying and why it matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the St. Cloud VA Health Care System, plans to purchase a Titan V4 Middle Ear Analyzer. This includes both the sale and installation of the equipment. The VA intends to award this as a sole-source contract to Midwest Special Instruments Corp. because they are identified as the only authorized factory-trained representative in Minnesota and their product is compatible with the existing NOAH System.
While this is a notice of intent for a sole-source award, it's an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capability if they believe they can meet the specific requirements. This could potentially influence the VA's decision on future procurements.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This notice was published on August 03, 2026. The deadline for submitting capability statements is August 13, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. At this deadline, the agency will stop accepting submissions from interested vendors.
The VA will review any submitted capability statements to determine if there is a basis to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. However, the decision to not compete this requirement remains at the government's discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily suited for firms that manufacture or supply electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, specifically those in the healthcare equipment sector. The NAICS code is 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) and the PSC is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).
It is particularly relevant for companies that can demonstrate they are an authorized reseller, authorized dealer, or third-party provider for Interacoustics products, especially the Titan V4 Middle Ear Analyzer, within Minnesota, and can ensure compatibility with the NOAH System.
How to respond to this notice
To respond, you must email your capability statement and any supporting documentation to Evan Beachy, Contracting Specialist, at [email protected]. Do not make phone calls.
In the subject line of your email, you must include "Response to Titan V4 ~ Middle Ear Analyzer". Your submission should clearly identify your interest and capability to satisfy the requirement, including documentation from Interacoustics proving your authorization to provide this service as an authorized reseller, dealer, or third party.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is a sole-source notice, a clear and concise capability statement is crucial. Focus on how your company specifically meets the stated requirements, especially regarding the Titan V4 Middle Ear Analyzer, compatibility with the NOAH System, and your authorization status from Interacoustics.
Ensure all required documentation, such as letters of authorization from Interacoustics, is included and clearly presented. Highlight your experience with similar equipment or services, and explicitly address how you can overcome the proprietary rights and warranty concerns mentioned by the agency.
