Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C245-25-AP-3831

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 05, Washington DC VA Medical Center. 688-25-2-305-307

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

The purpose of this requirement is to procure three (3) Vyntus Body pulmonary function testing (PFT) systems for the Respiratory/Pulmonary Departments at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. This procurement includes 1,110 L plethysmograph boxes with a patient bench and telescoping arm, a computer with monitor/keyboard/mouse, breathing circuit, SentrySuite software, cart, and printer. The procurement shall include all parts, materials, labor, software/licenses, and travel to complete the full installation of the PFT system.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The Washington DC VAMC Respiratory/Pulmonary department currently uses the products of Vyaire/Jaeger Medical for their PFT clinic. This department requires the same software to be used for a new PFT system to ensure consistent results and reporting. The Washington DC VAMC already has an interface set up for reports from the Vyaire/Jaeger Medical PFT systems to flow into the electronic patient record. In addition, the DC VAMC already has a Vyaire server set up for PFT studies. Procuring a system from a different company would cause issues with maintaining additional competencies, require additional configuration resources, and incur unnecessary additional costs for more equipment and software for the government. The Respiratory/Pulmonary department must be able to interchange equipment and parts for redundancy/backup purposes. In addition, the ability to share supplies rather than stock additional items will create efficiencies and cost reduction. The DC VAMC has a service contract with Vyaire/Jaeger Medical already in effect. When this new equipment�s warranty ends, it can easily be added to this service contract for equipment service and support.
