- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA 19104 intends to enter into sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source, with STERIS Corporation of Mentor, Ohio for the procurement of (2) STERIS Caviwave Pro Ultrasonic Cleaners under their GSA Schedule V797P-4921A for the Sterile Processing Services Department. The procurement of these units will increase workflow and avoid back logs while reprocessing surgical instrumentation of all specialties. Additionally, our staff is trained to use STERIS. Different manufacturers have different configurations which would result in additional man power hours devoted to training and thus detract from patient care. Compatibility issues with multiple types of equipment from multiple vendors impact patient lives, thus putting patient safety at risk. It is therefore in the best interest of the Philadelphia VA Medical Center to standardize our equipment and procure from a vendor whose product is currently in use. The Government has determined that only one source can satisfy the Agency's requirement and intends to award to STERIS Corporation. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. No solicitation document shall be posted and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any manufacturer that determines it can meet the requirements may give written notice via e-mail to NOELLE.IRISH@VA.GOV prior to 03/28/2014 at 1:00 Eastern Time. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to meet the subject requirement. This information shall be provided at no cost or obligation to the Government. All responses received will be evaluated; however, the information received will be used solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. If no responses are received, the Philadelphia VA Medical Center will proceed with sole source procurement to STERIS Corporation.
