We need to purchase two EV1000 cardiac output monitors for use in the OR and SICU. We need these monitors to restart our cardiac surgery program, which is projected to be as early as July. We will also need to train staff on these monitors prior to restarting. Project Scope The Oklahoma City VA HCS needs to purchase two EV1000 cardiac output monitors. Specifications The Oklahoma City VAMC specifications are designed to outline all the Oklahoma City VAMC Surgery Department and Biomedical Engineering requirements. These requirements will be provided to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) before final approval. The EV1000 cardiac output monitors specifications are provided below: Offerer must meet or exceed these specifications: Platform must provide a choice of screens to view the parameters in a manner most meaningful to your clinical situation for visual clinical support to view and how you want to view them. The platform may be used with the ClearSight Finger Cuff (Noninvasive)-The ClearSight system extends clarity to more moderate and high-risk surgery patients and noninvasively provides continuous hemodynamic monitoring including SV, SVV, SVR, CO and continuous blood pressure. finger cuff, FloTrac sensor, PreSep and PediaSat oximetry catheters and FloTrac Sensor (Minimally-Invasive)- The FloTrac sensor easily connects to any existing arterial catheter and automatically calculates key flow parameters (CCO/CCI, SV/SVI, SVV, SVR/SVRI) every 20 seconds, making it the practical and reliable solution for hemodynamic optimization in moderate to high-risk surgery. PreSep Oximetry Catheter (Central Venous Catheter)- The PreSep oximetry catheter continuously monitors central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), which may be used in the Early Goal-Directed Therapy (EGDT) protocol1 for the treatment of sepsis. VolumeView Set (Transpulmonary Thermodilution)- The VolumeView set provides volumetric parameters (EVLW, GEDV, GEF, PVPI, ITBV) and continuous, calibrated hemodynamic parameters (CCO/CCI, SV/SVI, SVV, SVR/SVRI). Visualized Physiology: The EV1000 clinical platform presents patient hemodynamicinformation clearly and simply. Color-based indicators communicate patient status at a glance, and visual clinical support screens allow for immediate recognition and increased understanding of rapidly changing clinical situations for improved decision making. Real-time Physiology Screen: The animated physiology screen visually depicts the dynamic changes occurring in your patient. By delivering parameters visually as well as numerically, the EV1000 clinical platform allows you to more easily determine the root cause of a particular situation, further assisting and guiding your clinical decisions. Hemodynamic Optimization: Monitoring and optimizing Stroke Volume (SV) by volume loading during the surgical procedure or in the immediate postoperative period is a key strategy for reducing postoperative complications. Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) measured can be used to tailor fluid therapy. Cardiac output measured continuously can be used (in combination with SaO2 and hemoglobin) to monitor and optimize DO2 with fluid (including red blood cells) and inotropic agents. These advanced hemodynamic parameters, when combined with a Perioperative Goal-Directed Therapy protocol, are key to maintaining the patient in the optimal volume range. During surgery, as long as oxygen consumption is stable, ScvO2 can be used as a surrogate for DO2. An ScvO2 value >73% can be targeted using fluid (including red blood cells) and inotropic agents. Goal Positioning Screen: The Goal Positioning Screen (GPS) plots two key hemodynamic parameters against each other on the same X/Y plane. The blue pulsating sphere represents the current intersection of the parameters while the descending circles display the historical trend. The green target box indicates the intended clinical targets. This screen may be particularly helpful when implementing Perioperative Goal-Directed Therapy protocols. Exclusive Cockpit Screen: The cockpit screen combines large, easy-to-see numbers with specific color target ranges to clearly indicate patient status. You can choose parameters, alarms and targets to meet your precise patient monitoring needs.

(End of Addendum to 52.212-1) 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION COMMERCIAL ITEMS: Any award resulting from this solicitation will be made based on the best overall quote that is determined to be the overall best value to the government. Pursuant to FAR 52.212-2, the criteria for evaluation is: (1) Technical Capability, (2) Price. Technical Capability The Government will evaluate quotes on the basis of whether or not the provided quote meets the technical capability specified above. Technical Capability shall consist of meeting or exceeding all aspects of the requirement. Price The Government will evaluate offers by adding all line item prices - the Total of All CLINS will be that sum. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability requirements of the statement of work shall not be selected regardless of price. All quotes shall be subject to evaluation by Government personnel. The Government intends to award without discussions based upon the initial evaluation of quotes. Consequently, contractors are highly encouraged to quote their best pricing quotes in their initial submissions. However, the Government reserves the right to communicate with any or all contractors submitting a quote, if it is determined advantageous to the Government to do so. If these communications take place, the Government is not obligated to communicate with every contractor (note that FAR Part 15 procedures do not apply; therefore, formal discussions are not applicable). All contractors will be treated fairly and impartially. A contractor may be eliminated from consideration without further communication if its non-price and/or pricing quotes are not among those contractors considered most advantageous to the Government based on a best value determination. All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the review in the most effective manner. Specifically, the Government may first sort the quotes of all Offerors by price from lowest price to the highest. Thereafter, the Government will review the Technical Capability of the lowest priced quote only. If the lowest priced Offeror s Technical Capability is determined to be acceptable and meets the requirements, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further reviews of the remaining Offerors Technical Capability. If the lowest priced Offeror s Technical Capability is determined to not meet the requirement, then the Government may review the Technical Capability next lowest priced quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches a quote that is determined to meet the Technical Capability requirements. Quotes that merely restate the requirement or state that the requirement shall be met, without providing supporting rationale, are not sufficient. Contractors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the contractor quoting the lowest price, or to the contractor with the most highly technical quote. Award may be made to other than the lowest priced quote, if the Government determines that a price premium is warranted due to the merits of one or more of the non-price factors.
