Description

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN-6 VA Healthcare System is requesting information related to vendors capable of providing automatic endoscope reprocessors (AERs) for the purposes of reprocessing reusable medical equipment. Attached is a list of items the AERs must be capable of reprocessing. The AERs will be located in Asheville, NC. This is not a request for bids, quotes, or proposals. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement only. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research and obtain information from qualified businesses. The responses to this announcement will assist in determining the socio-economic set aside if feasible. The Veterans Administration is required by Public Law 104-9 to give first priority to SDVOSB and VOSB concerns if there should be sufficient firms available to compete under a set aside. If insufficient veteran owned and small business response is received to establish the basis for setting this action aside for other than large business participation then the action will be advertised as full and open competition, in which case, all interested parties responding shall be eligible to bid. This notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary; the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. The vendors are requested to respond to the requirements for the AERs below and submit supporting information/documentation related to AERs that are FDA approved for reprocessing the items listed in accordance with the reprocessing method described, and are approved by the manufacturer of the item itself. Requirements: 1. The AERs must be approved by Olympus to reprocess the Olympus CYF-V2 cytoscope and the Olympus ENF-P4 rhinolaryngoscope. 2. The AERs must have RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to identify the scope and operator. 3. The AERs must be capable of processing two scopes per cycle in a single basin. 4. The AERs must provide ultrasonic cleaning. 5. The AERs must be capable of an automatic alcohol flush at the end of the cycle. 6. Two single bowl AERs must fit into a footprint of 60" wide and 40" deep. 7. The AERs must be able to replace steps in the manual reprocessing procedure as described in the Olympus reprocessing manual for the two scopes above, and the steps which replace manual reprocessing must be FDA-cleared. Interested parties should submit with their response the following information no later than February 10, 2011 and include POC information, business size, and business SBA classification(s). All questions should be addressed to Amy.Pitts@va.gov.
