2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center requires a GE 6VT-D Electronic 4D Multiplane Transesophageal TEE Probe for use exclusively with the facility's GE Vivid E95 ultrasound unit (System Identification Number: VE95003945). This will be the second procurement of this specific GE probe for the designated ultrasound system. TrillaMed is responsible for providing application setup and training for the 6VT-D probe.

Estimated Amount: $28,370.00

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The purpose of this contract is to facilitate the delivery, installation, and comprehensive training for the GE 6VT-D Electronic 4D Multiplane Transesophageal TEE Probe. This procurement represents the second acquisition of this specific probe for use with the designated GE ultrasound system. The contract also includes the provision of application setup and training to ensure proper integration and utilization of the 6VT-D probe.

The Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center is pursuing this procurement to ensure continuity of clinical operations and delivery of patient care without interruption. Having a secondary GE 6VT-D Electronic 4D Multiplane Transesophageal TEE Probe allows the facility to maintain continuous ultrasound imaging capabilities if the primary probe requires maintenance, servicing, or sterilization. Additionally, a second probe can support increased procedural volume and improve workflow efficiency by reducing potential downtime between cases. This redundancy ensures consistent, high-quality patient care and optimal functionality of the GE Vivid E95 ultrasound system.

Revision: 01 Effective Date: 11/15/2024 Page 2 of 2 Acquisition ID#: 36C252-26-AP-3594 transesophageal echocardiograms. Having two probes is necessary to efficiently conduct these procedures and accommodate multiple patient appointments each day. After each use, the probes are cleaned and reprocessed by Sterile Processing Service (SPS) in preparation for subsequent procedures.

The GE 6VT-D is an advanced electronic 4D multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe designed to acquire real-time, high-resolution 3D and 4D dynamic images of the heart via the patient's esophagus. It connects to compatible GE Vivid ultrasound platforms— such as the E95, S70, or Vivid iq—enabling detailed assessment of intracardiac structures during cardiac procedures. Installation, calibration, and on-site training will be provided by Trillamed.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

An SBA.gov search under NAICS code 339112 identified 986 SDVOSBs and VOSBs and 5,646 small businesses. Two additional searches were conducted on sba.gov by combining NAICS code 339112 with the keywords “transesophageal echocardiogram” and applying specific filters for SDVOSBs and VOSBs. Both searches yielded zero (0) results. Lastly, a search using NAICS code 339112 along with the keyword “transesophageal echocardiogram” also produced zero (0) results.CO performed a search on GSA Advantage using the keywords “6VT-D TEE Probes” yielded zero (0) results.
