HCA SIgned NCO 4 Lebanon Consignment_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Determination and Findings (D&F) for a Consignment Agreement for Alcon Vivity Intraocular Lenses at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. The Lebanon VAMC intends to procure multifocal intraocular (IOL) implants for their Surgical Service department, estimating 250 procedures per year for a base year with four additional option years. The total estimated value is redacted, with a minimum guaranteed amount of $25,000.00 for the base period. The consignment agreement will allow the medical center to have items immediately available, reduce duplication costs, and shift inventory control to the vendor. The procurement is being conducted unrestricted on GSA, with three vendors having Federal Supply Schedule contracts, and the value is over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The document highlights that multifocal IOLs provide patients the ability to focus on intermediate distances without additional glasses, potentially reducing overall decreasing costs to the VA. A formal request for quotation will be posted to increase competition. The consignment approach offers benefits such as continuous product availability, reduced administrative burden, and simplified trade-in value determination. The procurement follows VHA Procurement Guide procedures, including a legal review prior to award, a signed Consignment Agreement Delivery Method document, and an established accountability file. The document is digitally signed by the Contracting Officer, Branch Chief of Commodities 2, and the Executive Director of Regional Procurement Office East on February 4, 2025.
