Gray market items are considered to be items outside of the original equipment manufacturer s intended distribution channels. This notice is not a request for quotes; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the Government. All capability statements must be received by no later than 10:00AM Eastern Standard Time on August 10, 2026. Responses to be submitted to Patricia Tolini, Contracting Officer at patricia.tolini@va.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. STATEMENT OF WORK Background The VA Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of Excellence requires commercially available electronic inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) devices for use in a randomized clinical trial evaluating high-intensity IMST in Veterans with exertional dyspnea. The requested system must include handheld inspiratory muscle training devices, participant mobile application access, application-based data management, remote adherence monitoring, objective performance tracking, and investigator access to participant training data throughout the intervention period. The system will be used to standardize intervention delivery, monitor protocol compliance, and collect objective training metrics for research purposes. The IMST device shall provide electronically monitored, objective verification of intervention fidelity, including breath-by-breath adherence, prescribed resistance achievement, and remote investigator oversight sufficient for use in randomized clinical trials. Selection Criteria Electronic inspiratory muscle training device capable of programmable high-intensity resistance loading. Centralized investigator dashboard capable of monitoring multiple participants simultaneously. Exportable participant-level, breath-by-breath performance and adherence metrics suitable for clinical research analysis. Commercially supported software updates and technical support. Compatibility with clinical research requiring standardized intervention delivery. Device shall provide automated resistance progression and programmable individualized training loads based on participant inspiratory muscle performance. Device shall provide objective breath-by-breath measurement of inspiratory effort and training performance, rather than relying solely on participant self-report. Device shall automatically synchronize training data with a secure cloud platform without requiring manual data entry by participants. Investigator platform shall permit remote review of participant-specific training quality, including completion of prescribed breaths and achievement of prescribed resistance targets. Device shall support research-grade intervention fidelity through objective verification that prescribed training was performed as intended. Deliverables or Deliver Schedule Specifications Handheld electronic inspiratory muscle training device capable of providing adjustable inspiratory resistance appropriate for high-intensity IMST. Compatible mobile application for participant-guiding tracking. Investigator dashboard for remote monitoring of participant adherence and performance. Objective recording of training sessions, including date/time, resistance level, number of breaths completed, and performance metrics. Exportable participant-level training data for research analysis. Commercially available product with manufacturer technical support. Device shall utilize electronically controlled resistance technology capable of maintaining prescribed training loads across repeated breaths while automatically adapting to participant inspiratory performance during each session. Device shall objectively quantify inspiratory muscle training performance using proprietary electronic sensors rather than relying solely on mechanical resistance settings. Device shall automatically record breath-by-breath training metrics including resistance achieved, inspiratory effort, breath completion, session duration, and training compliance. Device shall allow investigators to remotely modify participant training prescriptions without requiring device replacement or participant return visits. Options Optional extended manufacturer warranty (if available). Optional software licensing or subscription renewals beyond the initial period. Optional replacement handheld devices available for future procurement. Optional additional investigator or administrative software licenses. Accessories Rechargeable handheld inspiratory muscle training devices. Charging cables and/or charging dock. Reusable or replaceable mouthpieces. Carrying/storage case (if included). Mobile application access. Investigator software/dashboard access. User manuals and instruction materials. Features Objective electronic recording of completed training sessions verification that each prescribed breath was successfully completed. Automated progression of prescribed training intensity based on participant performance. Electronic quality-control measures that minimize participant non-compliance and protocol deviations. Remote monitoring of participant adherence, and remote identification of missed sessions and inadequate training effort. Enables standardized intervention delivery across multiple study sites. Supports FDA-quality audit trails by maintaining permanent electronic records of participant training history. Eliminates reliance on participant training logs or self-reported adherence. Centralized investigator dashboard for monitoring multiple participants. Exportable adherence and performance metrics for research analysis.
