DESCRIPTION
1. DESCRIPTION
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Capsule Endoscopy System product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as “national”) single Requirements contract award.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for Capsule Endoscopy System is 334510 – Endoscopic equipment, electromedical (e.g., bronchoscopes, colonoscopes, cystoscopes), manufacturing: 6515 – Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.
2. SCOPE
This requirement will be IAW FAR clause 6.303, Brand Name which requires the quoter indicate that the product being offered is a Capsule Endoscopy System from Medtronic.
Capsule Endoscopy systems are designed to examine various points along the intestinal tract using images captured with a tiny ingestible video camera. These systems typically consist of three components: a disposable ingestible camera pill/capsule that is swallowed by the patient and that transmits video images as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract, a recorder used by the patient (e.g., worn on a belt around the waist) that receives the signals transmitted by the camera, and a workstation appropriate for processing and displaying the images from the recorder. Ingestible camera endoscopic video systems are used to detect abnormalities (e.g., angioectasia, ulcers, tumors) especially in areas of the small intestine that are difficult or impossible to reach using endoscopes.
