Description

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) Rotoprone bed Rentals A. GENERAL GUIDANCE 1. Title of Project: Rotoprone Bed Rentals (Brand name or equal) 2. Scope of Work: Rental of Rotoprone beds. Action is for the approval of a purchase order to rent the item for a defined period of time. Rental incurs a daily fee. Use of the device is a life-saving measure for patients with ARDS who cannot otherwise oxygenate even on full ventilator support, high O2 concentrations and high levels of PEEP. Item is the only device of its type on the market which will place the patient in a 100% prone position. 3. Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious and often fatal complication that can occur as a result of pneumonia, sepsis or trauma. Because it can severely compromise lung function and oxygenation, it is considered a medical emergency in the ICU. Prone Therapy has been shown to help reduce mortality in ARDS patients by 25% when administered early and applied for most of the day. However, Prone Therapy isn't always ad-ministered due to the increased handling risks to both patients and caregivers, which can lead to additional facility costs. 4. Performance Period: Under a firm-fixed-price task order, the performance period is for one year with option years available. Time period is from 4/1/15 until 3/30/16. 5. Type of Contract: This contract is for a firm-fixed-price agreement for the delivery and rental of Rotoprone beds. Beds will be delivered to: VAPHS University Drive C Pittsburgh, PA 15240 B. CONTRACT AWARD MEETING The contractor shall not commence performance on the tasks in this SOW until the CO has conducted a kick off meeting, or has advised the contractor that a kick off meeting is waived. C. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS VAPHS requires a bed which will place a patient into a full prone position safely and with minimal staff effort.
