About this file

This document contains answers to a contractor's questions regarding Solicitation Number 36C24823Q0772 for Belimed Washer & Sterilizer Maintenance Services. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is seeking maintenance services for Belimed washers and sterilizers located at its Orlando VA Healthcare System facilities. The sterilizers use house steam supplied by the facility's in-house FMS Department, while the washers use an RO/DI system maintained by Biomed/HTM. Although Belimed is the sole source provider due to software and calibration requirements, the CO will determine if third party vendors can provide compliant service by evaluating pricing and documentation. Qualified vendors must use genuine Belimed parts to maintain regulatory compliance.

COMMENT(s)/QUESTION(s)
GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE
PWS
We have a question about the Belimed Washers and Sterilizers. Are these fed house steam? Belimed tends to utilize clean steam systems which are extremely expensive and would also include a water treatment setup of some sort. If so please let us know.
Yes, the Sterilizers are fed house steam, which is supplied by our in-house FMS Dept. The RO/DI for the Washers are supplied by the AmeriWater System, which is maintained by in house Biomed/HTM Dept.
2
Structure of 3rd party services
Belimed is a sole source provider for these machines because of the software requirements and calibration requirements that can only be done by Belimed certified techs. Is there a plan if the facility plans on going to a 3rd party provider to remain FDA compliant?
The Belimed equipment at our facilities are Government owned and not under OEM warranty. During market research and discussions with Belimed, they are vendors that could provide this service. The CO will determine price fair and reasonableness prior to contract award.
3
Preventative Maintenance Schedule
Who will be required to complete preventative maintenance on the machines and are they aware that genuine Belimed parts are required to remain compliant?
Qualified vendors that submit a quote with all documents required to evaluate.
