1. SCOPE OF WORK:

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Laparoscopic Insufflators product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as “national”) single Requirements contract award.

Laparoscopic Insufflators are specialized; pressure-limited gas-flow regulators used during laparoscopic procedures to produce and maintain a pneumoperitoneum (gas-filled space within the peritoneal cavity). This enlarges the working space, providing room to insert instruments, and allows the surgeon to see the organs more easily.

Pressure regulators and flow-restricting orifices in the device control pressure and gas flow during insufflation.

The objective is to provide Laparoscopic Insufflators to be used by clinicians throughout the VA medical centers and facilities in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The period of performance is for a base of 12-months with four 12-month option periods.
