DESCRIPTION

THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) – SOURCES SOUGHT IS ISSUED SOLELY FOR MARKET RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION

1. Responses to this Sources Sought must be in writing. The purpose of this Sources Sought Announcement is for market research only to make appropriate acquisition decisions and to gain knowledge of Small Businesses, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB/VOSB), who are interested in submitting proposals for this procurement and who are capable of performing the work required for this procurement.

2. The NAICS for this requirement is 811210 - Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance

3. The sources shall be interested and capable to deliver and install the following:

The Southern Arizona VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS) located at 3601 S. 6th Ave, Tucson, AZ, 85723, currently has a requirement to conduct Electroencephalogram (EEG), a bedside neurodiagnostic tool that allows rapid detection of non-convulsive seizures within five minutes. This technology is currently unavailable in our department but has the potential to significantly improve decision-making for critically ill patients. Clinical Justification: Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE) is a critical concern in the ED/ICU, affecting up to one-third of neurological critical care patients, leading to permanent brain injury and increased mortality. The only way to confirm these seizures is through EEG. However, conventional EEG is often delayed by hours, leaving clinicians to make treatment decisions without objective data, risking either delayed treatment or unnecessary medication exposure and intubation. The goal of this acquisition is to rent the EEG equipment (Clarity Subscription FedRAMP and Ceribell Subscription FedRAMP EEG portable Recorders OR EQUAL) as required for the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System (SAVAHCS) Neurology Department. The required services (implementation, configuration, validation, ongoing support and maintenance) for the EEG equipment shall be provided by the contractor along with all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW).
