Statement of Work

1.0 Background

The Charles George VA Medical Center (CGVAMC) has a need to procure to replace all the facility’s Medical Gas/Vacuum System suction regulators. Currently CGVAMC has outdated suction regulators and per national standards are required to be standardized.

These Two Hundred and Three (203) Sentinel Suction Regulator, Analog, Continuous/Intermittent, USA, Tubing Nipple, DISS connection items and these Fifty-Nine (59) Sentinel Suction Regulator, Analog, Continuous/Intermittent, USA, Tubing Nipple, Chemetron connection items are being requested to bring the facility up to date.

The current regulators are both manufacturer supported and to be in compliance with VA mandates to have back-up/duplicate regulators. Typically, these are time sensitive and unpredictable in nature.
