6515--EQUIPMENT - V-SIGN SENSOR - Detroit 36C25026Q0242
Summary
AI-generated · Jan 22, 2026Procurement is for V-Sign Sensors to be used with the Sentec Transcutaneous TcCO Monitoring System in the Sleep Laboratory at the Detroit facility. The sensors provide non-invasive, continuous monitoring of transcutaneous CO2 and oxygen saturation and are essential for diagnosing and managing sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory insufficiency. The V-Sign Sensor is proprietary to Sentec and is fully compatible with the VA’s existing equipment and displays, including Polysmith integration; no other sensor is technically compatible or validated for use with the Sentec TcCO monitoring system, and using an alternative would require replacing the entire monitoring system.
A firm-fixed-price purchase order is anticipated, awarded to Sentec AG for part number 101342 VS-A/P/N. The government intends to solicit and negotiate with only this source, as the sensor is the sole compatible component for the Sentec TcCO monitor. This is not a competitive solicitation, and no package is available. If competition would be advantageous, responses demonstrating that fact will be considered, and must be received by the stated deadline.
