ALLY II equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Government intends to procure the CooperSurgical ALLY II Uterine Positioning System and associated carts on a Brand Name/Sole Manufacture basis because of the equipment's required compatibility with CooperSurgical uterine manipulators currently utilized by the facility and the Government's clinical and operational requirements. The ALLY II Uterine Positioning System is required to provide hands-free uterine manipulator positioning, stable static holding, controlled articulated positioning, operating-table mounting, and compatibility with the facility's existing CooperSurgical uterine manipulators. Maintaining compatibility with existing equipment and established surgical workflow avoids replacement of currently utilized manipulators, additional validation, retraining, and associated changes to current minimally invasive and robotic-assisted gynecologic procedures.

Interested parties that believe they can provide the required CooperSurgical ALLY II equipment shall submit documentation demonstrating their capability to furnish the exact items identified above. Responses should include, at a minimum: Business name, address, UEI, and point of contact; Business size and socioeconomic status under NAICS 339112; Evidence demonstrating the respondent's ability and authorization to furnish the required CooperSurgical products; Confirmation that the respondent can furnish P/N AU-UPS2 and P/N AU-CART2; Country of origin/manufacture information; Delivery schedule; and A quotation for the complete requirement. The Government will evaluate all timely responses received to determine whether a competitive procurement is appropriate. A determination not to compete this proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. **See Post RFQ 36C24826Q1195** If no response demonstrating the capability to satisfy the Government's requirement is received by the closing date and time, the Government intends to proceed with the contemplated sole-source acquisition. Responses shall be submitted by email to Lakiesha Anderson at Lakiesha.anderson@va.gov no later than 9 September 2026 / 12:30PM Eastern Time.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $BDX reported $22.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 21 past awards, $120K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
