Statement of Need

Title of Project: SPS Label Printers

Background: NF/SG Sterile Processing Service is purchasing forty (40) Label printers. The equipment is intended for printing Censitrac labels to identify surgical trays and peel packs for surgeries. SPS currently uses zebra label printers throughout NF/SG and will need to replace unrepairable printers and add more to expand services.

SEPG approval: 249083

Scope: NF/SG VA Healthcare System currently uses Zebra label printers at the Gainesville, Lake City, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Villages locations. Purchasing a different product would require more than 2 additional products being purchased to cover all locations, all the expendable supplies will have to be replaced and 90 plus SPS employees will have to be trained on a new product. There have been no issues with the current Zebra label printers and currently does not need to be replaced. At point replacing the Zebra label printers will not be cost effective for the government.
