Prepared By:

Strategic Acquisition Center Department of Veterans Affairs 10300 Spotsylvania Avenue, Suite 400 Fredericksburg, VA 22408

1. SCOPE OF WORK:

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Physiologic Monitors, Vital Signs product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as “national”) single Requirements contract award.

Physiologic monitors designed primarily for automated periodic and/or quasi-continuous real-time measuring and display of two or more of the vital signs (e.g., noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, heart rate) and oxygen saturation in the blood (SpO2); many devices may also perform continuous monitoring during transportation or at the bedside. These monitors typically consist of portable or mobile electronic units that facilitate movement from one location to other; the monitor may be connected to the line and/or powered by internal batteries. The main unit includes controls and a display; it also includes appropriate attached probes and sensors that make possible sequential and/or simultaneous measurements of the parameters. Noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) is usually measured using cuffs and either auscultatory or oscillometer techniques; the measurement of temperature is typically accomplished using an intraoral sensor, and SpO2 is determined using pulse oximetry sensors. Vital signs physiologic monitors are intended mainly for periodic automated measuring of the parameters of one or more patients. Some monitors have additional capabilities (e.g., recording, alarm, printing). Dedicated physiologic monitors that can provide electrocardiographic waveforms and/or invasive measurements such as invasive blood pressure measurements are not usually considered vital signs monitors.

The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The objective is to provide Physiologic Monitors, Vital Signs to be used by clinicians throughout the VA medical centers and facilities. The period of performance is for one (1) 12-month base period with four (4) 12-month option periods.

2. REQUIREMENT

This requirement includes FAR clause 52.211-6, “Brand Name or Equal” which requires the vendor indicate that each product being offered is an “equal” product to the Welch Allyn Connex Physiologic Monitors, Vital Signs.

For each equal product, the offeror must include a description reflecting the salient characteristics (SC) and level of quality that will satisfy the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the equal product(s) specified in the solicitation. The quoter must also clearly identify the item by brand name (if any) and make/model number. Finally, the quoter must include descriptive literature, such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the contracting officer, and clearly describe any modifications it plans to make to a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements.

The Government's intent for this Requirements contract is to include all ancillary items to ensure the equipment can function as designed by the OEM and as clinically required. The Government may, at its discretion and through bilateral modification, add or remove items to this contract that are determined to be within scope of the solicited product line, not limited to the original items awarded. Additionally, any discontinued items may be replaced via future contract modification by the replacement part identified by the OEM, so long as the replacement part serves the same clinical purpose and function as the originally awarded item. Furthermore, any new technology that is presented during performance of this contract may be evaluated by the Government for inclusion into the contract, via bilateral modification. This new technology must be determined to be within scope of the original contract
