About this file
This is a Special Notice for a sole-source procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for a NOVA Plus NC System from ADInstruments. The contract (Solicitation Number 36C25925Q0611) seeks to acquire a specialized blood pressure monitoring system for a VA-funded research project, with a total value of a fixed-price, one-time purchase. The system includes a NANO CORE module with double finger cuff system, multiple finger and arm cuffs, a Height Correction Unit, and an Analog Input-Output module, designed to provide continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring with advanced hemodynamic parameter tracking.
The specific procurement supports Walter Wray's research project (E3343-R) on exercise training in patients with heart failure, offering significant technological improvements over traditional blood pressure measurement methods. The system's unique capabilities include beat-to-beat hemodynamic parameter monitoring, 24/7 continuous patient monitoring, and the ability to track cardiac variability during physical activity, which traditional arm cuffs cannot achieve. The contract has a six-month performance period, with delivery to the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center, and does not require a security accreditation package. The response deadline is 07-21-2025 at 3 PM Mountain Time, with the solicitation archived 30 days after the response date.

Contract Title: NOVA Plus NC System (Basic)
Background:
Currently, the VA utilizes arm blood pressure cuffs that use sphygmomanometry or automated oscillometry. These devices require that the patient remains completely still during the measurements and provides a single blood pressure value that requires 30-45 seconds per assessment.
The Finapres NOVA is a clinical grade, non-invasive, continuous blood pressure monitor for accurate measurement of blood pressure that is determined with every heartbeat. Using proprietary technology, this device also estimates physiologic parameters such as: cardiac output, stroke volume, cardiac contractility, left ventricular ejection time, and total peripheral resistance. Traditional blood pressure cuffs do not provide this information, which are otherwise only available using costly, invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
This equipment will be used to support Walter Wray’s VA funded project E3343-R titled “Efficacy of exercise training in patients with HFpEF”. The proprietary finger cuff monitoring system will make it so that accurate measurements of blood pressure and the additional parameters outlined above can be determined during physical activity, ensuring patient safety.
Scope:
· NANO CORE module (double finger cuff system)
· 3 finger cuffs (small, medium, large)
· Height Correction Unit (HCU)
· Upper arm module for brachial calibration with upper arm cuffs (small, medium, large)
· Analog Input- Output module (2 in – 8 out)
· User Manual
The vendor is to supply the needed system and upgrade as outlined and defined by the quote provided:
Additional Information/Requirements:
Features & Parameters
· Continuous non-invasive brachial and finger blood pressure
· No arm movement restrictions thanks to the HCU
· Beat-to-beat basic hemodynamic parameters
· 24/7 continuous patient-friendly monitoring
· System architecture based on Windows 10
· Systolic, mean and diastolic pressure
· Blood pressure curves
· Heart rate and interbeat interval
Unique Characteristics During clinical trials, the veteran will be monitored while riding a stationary bike. Traditional arm cuffs require the veteran to remain still during monitoring. However, the finger cuff can monitor cardiac variability at a continuous rate while the veteran is riding the stationary bike. This benefit allows for more accurate results. The Finepres NOVA Plus is the only finger cuff monitor that can estimate physiological parameters such as cardiac output, stroke volume, cardiac contractility, left ventricular ejection time, and total peripheral resistance. This system increases the cardiac variability in a non-invasive manner.
Contract Type:
Fixed price, one time buy.
Period of Performance:
From the date of award for six months.
Place of Performance:
Ship to:
SLC VAMC
500 S Foothill Dr. #151 WHSE 7/ Research/ Liz Weld Salt Lake City, UT 84148
Security Requirements: The C&A requirements do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required.
