This is a Sources Sought Notice for market research. Information is to be used primarily for planning purposes in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10. This announcement does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ) and does not commit the Government to solicit or award a contract now or in the future.

Purpose: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking to identify contractors capable of performing the specified requirement below:

Requirement: Bladder scanners with mobile carts /workstations, Manufacturer: Verathon and Model: i10, for the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System to acquire three scanners for Auburn CBOC. The bladder scanners are used to assist in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of post-operative urinary retention (POUR), to help prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections, to identify bladder distention, causes of urinary frequency and bladder irritability, and to assess a patient's hydration status.

Location: VA Puget Sound Healthcare System Auburn Primary Care Clinic, CBOC 1002 15th Street SW Auburn, WA 98001

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Firms responding shall specify they can meet the required specifications:

• See Statement of Work

Contractors shall provide:

• A bladder scanner with the most accurate and user-friendly features is required to assist in optimizing patient care. Scanners improve the nurses’ workflow and would provide more accurate information to the provider to make better clinical decisions.

Accuracy: ± 7.5% on bladder volumes 100-999 mL or ± 7.5 mL on volumes 0-100 mL

• Point and click: Automatically detect and define bladder location, size, and shape across all adult patient types and anatomies with no manual fanning

• Post-scan aiming guidance notifies users if the entire bladder has not been fully captured, helping ensure accurate bladder measurements

• Pubic bone indicator: functionality alerts users when the pubic bone may have interfered with the accuracy of the scan

• Probe design: contoured, organic shape to enable an assured grip of the probe, providing ease of use across all patient types and positions and reducing chances of probe drops

• Device Charging: Both on-board charging and user-swappable battery

• Quiet gliding cart / workstation with a 360-degree handle for easy positioning in a variety of settings including a large storage bin for supplies

• Durability: Designed with custom-blended medical grade materials to withstand fast-kill disinfectants, metal gears and industrial strength probe cables to support 24/7 uptime within taxing hospital environments

• Fully sealed probe (IPX4 rating) and drip-resistant console (IPX2 rating) to ensure precision electronics are protected against accidental spills

• Probe management: Probes are interchangeable between consoles with no need for recalibration, simplifying spare probe management

• Probe designed to withstand multiple drops at 4’ to a steel surface using MIL-STD 810H standard

• Bright LED patient orientation markers to ensure proper probe alignment

• Intuitive graphical user interface with on-board tutorial: Easily accessible, guiding user at the point of where they are in the workflow

• Monitor clarity: Medical grade, optically bonded full-color LCD touch screen. When used with the cart / workstation, adjustable monitor height and easy angling enable optimal viewing and glare reduction across multiple settings

• Charting tool to easily transfer exam results to any EHR system with no IT project management overhead or implementation required

• No routine calibration requirement

• 5-year factory warranty covering all damage and failures associated with the probe and the console (Same-day loaner shipping if vendor receives the order by 2:00 PM PST)

• Vendor provided on-site training.

The associated North America Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 339112 Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. The Business Size Standard is 1,000 employees. The PSC is 6525 Imaging Equipment and Supplies: Medical, Dental, Veterinary.
