US

Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Regional Procurement Office (RPO) East 323 North Shore Drive, Suite 500 Pittsburgh PA 15212-5319 Ms. Millicent Covert millicent.covert@va.gov Regional Procurement Office (RPO) East intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Stumptown Research and Development, LLC, 315 Baldwin Ave, Marion, North Carolina, 28752, to purchase a customized advanced blast simulator for the Harper Laboratory at the Iowa City VAMC for multiple studies involving blast injury. Stumptown is the only licensed contractor that can build this instrument from the patent holder. The configured blast chamber generates a blast wave that most closely resembles the blast that a Veteran is exposed to in combat and the blast wave is the only one that is accepted by the scientific review community at the VA. Feedback received from scientific review panels from previous research projects suggest this model provides substantiated and stringent data results expected for grant proposals for blast injury studies. The following equipment will be purchased:

• Compressed Gas Driver System

• 30 psi incident test pressure

• Two observation windows

• 3 ports for pressure instrumentation

• Installation and Training

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Any responsible sources who wish to identify their interest and capability to provide this equipment or equipment that is compatible must notify this Contracting Specialist at Millicent.Covert@va.gov NLT Wednesday, August 21, 2019 by 12:00 PM, noon, EST. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Upon receipt of the interested parties' notification, the Contracting Officer will determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with sole source negotiations.
