The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Office of Procurement, Acquisition and Logistics (OPAL) Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) on behalf of VHA is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) in accordance with the FAR 10.002(b)(2) to determine the availability and technical capabilities of qualified sources. The period of performance will consist of a base of 12-months with four 12-month option periods from the date of award. The SAC in conjunction with VHA is seeking a qualified source to manufacture Endoscope Drying and Storage Cabinets - Vertical on an agency wide basis. VA intends to award a Brand Name or Equal (BNOE) single award Requirements contract for this requirement IAW with FAR 16.503. Vendors will be required to deliver Endoscope Drying and Storage Cabinets - Vertical to VA medical centers and facilities throughout the United States. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 339113 Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing and the associated size standard is 750 employees. The FAR Provision found at 52.204-7(b)(1) requires that All interested Offerors must be registered in SAM prior to submitting an offer or quotation. You may access the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. All quoters must be certified as with the appropriate NAICS code on the SAM website.

This notice is for planning purpose only and does not constitute a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted as a result of this notice. This RFI is part of a continuous process for obtaining the latest information on the commercial status of the industry with respect to their current and near-term abilities. The information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for, or award, a competitive contract. It is emphasized that this is a notice solely for planning and informational purposes. 2.0 SCOPE Endoscope drying and storage cabinets - Vertical are designed to reduce infection risks by removing moisture from endoscopes following high-level disinfection (HLD) and providing a controlled environment in which to store them. These cabinets are typically manufactured using materials (e.g., stainless steel, polypropylene, acrylic) that permit ease of cleaning. Endoscope drying storage cabinets circulate clean air using a high-efficiency particulate-air (HEPA) filter, exhausting the air back into the room through an activated carbon filter. In addition to circulating air within the cabinet, continuous filtered air is forced through the endoscope channels to purge water eliminating bacterial proliferation during vertical storage from their control body. Additionally, some drying storage cabinets allow for user and endoscope tracking and data export to help prevent endoscope handling by unauthorized personnel, to track compliance with endoscope management policies, to facilitate contact tracing in cases of possible cross-contamination, and to prevent theft. VA estimates the following quantities during the 60-months ordering period: CLIN Item Description UOM BASE YEAR OPTION YEAR 1 OPTION YEAR 2 OPTION YEAR 3 OPTION YEAR 4 0001 6500 SER HEPA DRYING CBNT, 12 SCOPE EXPANSION UNIT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0002 6500 SER HEPA DRYING CBNT, 12 SCOPE MAIN UNIT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0003 6500 SER HEPA DRYING CBNT, 20 SCOPE EXPANSION UNIT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0004 6500 SER HEPA DRYING CBNT, 20 SCOPE MAIN UNIT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0005 6500 SER CABINET BRONCHOSCOPE HOLDER EA 10 10 10 10 10 0006 6500 SER CABINET ENDOSCOPE DISTAL END PROTECTOR EA 10 10 10 10 10 0007 6500 SER CABINET ENDOSCOPE HANGER EA 10 10 10 10 10 0008 6500 SER CABINET ENDOSCOPE SUPPORT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0009 6500 SER CABINET EUS ENDOSCOPE HOLDER, LARGE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0010 6500 SER CABINET EUS ENDOSCOPE HOLDER, SMALL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0011 RELIANCE 6500 SEISMIC KIT EM EA 10 10 10 10 10 0012 RELIANCE 6500 SEISMIC KIT MU EA 10 10 10 10 10 0013 6500 SER CABINET TEE PROBE HOLDER EA 10 10 10 10 10 0014 6500 SER CABINET TEE PROBE SUPPORT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0015 FUJIFILM 450 SERIES ENTEROSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0016 FUJIFILM 470 SERIES BRONCHOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0017 FUJIFILM 530/580 SERIES BRONCHOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0018 FUJIFILM 580 SERIES DUODENOSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0019 FUJIFILM 740 SERIES GI ENDOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0020 FUJIFILM 740/760 GI ENDOSCOPES WITH AUX CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0021 FUJIFILM SERIES EBUS BRONCHOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0022 TUBING SET, FUJI GI EA 10 10 10 10 10 0023 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON CH EA 10 10 10 10 10 0024 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON CH EA 10 10 10 10 10 0025 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON LB EA 10 10 10 10 10 0026 TUBING SET, FUJI GI TWO BIOPSY W JET EA 10 10 10 10 10 0027 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON CH EA 10 10 10 10 10 0028 TUBING SET, FUJI GI TWO BIOPSY W IND EA 10 10 10 10 10 0029 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON CH EA 10 10 10 10 10 0030 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON CH EA 10 10 10 10 10 0031 TUBING SET, FUJI GI W AUX ON CH EA 10 10 10 10 10 0032 KARL STORZ ENDOSCOPE TYPE 1 EA 10 10 10 10 10 0033 KARL STORZ ENDOSCOPE TYPE 2 EA 10 10 10 10 10 0034 OLYMPUS 160/180/190 BRONCHOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0035 OLYMPUS 160/180/190 GI ENDOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0036 OLYMPUS 160/180/190 GI ENDOSCOPES WITH AUX CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0037 OLYMPUS EBUS BRONCHOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0038 OLYMPUS EUS GASTROSCOPE WITH ELEVATOR CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0039 OLYMPUS DUAL CHANNEL COLONOSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0040 OLYMPUS DUAL CHANNEL GASTROSCOPE WITH AUX CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0041 OLYMPUS ULTRASOUND GASTROSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0042 OLYMPUS FLEXIBLE HYSTEROSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0043 OLYMPUS INTUBATION VIDEOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0044 OLYMPUS RHINO-LARYNGOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0045 OLYMPUS FLEXIBLE URETEROSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0046 PENTAX SERIES BRONCHOSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0047 PENTAX J10 SERIES BRONCHOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0048 PENTAX 1970UK EBUS BRONCHOSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0049 PENTAX J10 EBUS BRONCHOSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0050 PENTAX EUS GASTROSCOPE EA 10 10 10 10 10 0051 PENTAX GI EUS GASTROSCOPE WITH ELEVATOR CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0052 PENTAX SERIES GI ENDOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0053 PENTAX 380 SERIES GI ENDOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0054 PENTAX GI ENDOSCOPES WITH AUX CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0055 PENTAX GI ENDOSCOPE DUAL CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0056 PENTAX DUAL CHANNEL GASTROSCOPE WITH AUX CHANNEL EA 10 10 10 10 10 0057 PENTAX SMALL DIAMETER ENDOSCOPES EA 10 10 10 10 10 0058 INSTALLATION OF RELIANCE ENDOSCOPE 6500 MAIN UNIT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0059 INSTALL RELIANCE ENDOSCOPE 6500 EXPANSION UNIT EA 10 10 10 10 10 0060 DEINSTALLATION OF RELIANCE ENDOSCOPE 6500 EA 10 10 10 10 10 0061 LABOR CARE FOR RELIANCE 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY, LABOR ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0062 2 YRS OF LABOR CARE FOR REL 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY, LABOR ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0063 LABOR CARE FOR RELIANCE 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0064 2 YRS LABOR CARE REL 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0065 2 YRS OF PREVENTIVE CARE REL 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0066 1ST YR PREV CARE FOR REL 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0067 PREVENTIVE CARE FOR RELIANCE 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0068 TOTAL CARE CONNECT FOR REL 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0069 2 YRS TOTAL CARE CONNECT REL 6500 (MAIN UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0070 2 YRS OF PREV CARE REL 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0071 1ST YR PREV CARE REL 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0072 PREVENTIVE CARE FOR REL 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0073 TOTAL CARE CONNECT FOR REL 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 0074 2 YRS TCC RELIANCE 6500 (EXPANSION UNIT ONLY) EA 10 10 10 10 10 Vendors who propose brands that meet all the salient characteristics (SCs) below should provide that information in the chart below in their response to this Sources Sought Notice.
