I. INTRODUCTION & SCOPE OF WORK:

The purpose of this contract is to establish a service maintenance contract for Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS).

TVHS requires continual Quarterly Chamber and Accessory Cleaning (CAC) Preventative Maintenance (PM) support on the following items for our Nashville VAMC Campus Sterile Processing Service (SPS):

four (4) Belimed 609 VS2 Medium Sterilizers, six (6) Belimed 10201021 Sterilizer Transport Cart Loading Car/Trollies, five (5) Belimed 101-5284 Sterilizer Loading Car/Racks, one (1) Belimed CS 750 Cart Washer, two (2) Belimed CWA-004 Cart Washer Rack, and two (2) ASP/Johnson & Johnson Medical Products Inc STERRAD 100NX Sterilizers.

TVHS requires continual Semi-Annual CAC PM support on the following items for our Alvin C. York Campus Sterile Processing Service (SPS): one (1) Steris V-PRO MAX 2 Sterilizers, and two (2) Steris AX0650230830000013 Atlas Transfer Carriages.

The various sterilizers and accessories make up multiple medical systems that are used to produce high-pressure environments to kill all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. This process is effective and reliable, ensuring that medical instruments are safe to use on Veterans. Infection control is a top priority in any medical facility, especially at TVHS VAMC. These sterilizers and accessories must receive routine professional cleanings as required by the OEM and by TJC (EC.02.04.03), to ensure the safety of our Veterans and Clinical users against infection risk. The following Statement of Work (SOW) will detail the scope of contractor obligations including all support requirements.
