The current MANOSCAN system and catheter utilized by Gastroenterology are non-functional, creating an immediate operational impact and limiting the facility’s ability to perform high-resolution anorectal manometry studies in-house. As a result, currently scheduled patient cases will require outsourcing to external facilities, resulting in delays to diagnosis, treatment planning, continuity of care, and increased burden on Veterans requiring specialized gastrointestinal motility testing.

The requested acquisition is considered an urgent operational requirement necessary to restore diagnostic functionality and maintain continuity of patient care activities within Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Services.

Check - In Requirements:

The Contractor Service Personnel and/or representative must report to the appropriate department Supervisor or designated point of contact (POC) to sign in with department staff before work begins.

At the end of each briefing, Contractor Service Personnel and/or representative will and must sign out.

SECURITY INCIDENT INVESTIGATION:

The term “security incident” means an event that has, or could have, resulted in unauthorized access to, loss or damage to VA assets, or sensitive information, or an action that breaches VA security procedures. The contractor/subcontractor shall immediately notify the COTR and simultaneously, the designated ISO and Privacy Officer for the contract of any known or suspected security/privacy incidents, or any unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including that contained in system(s) to which the contractor/subcontractor has access.

If so, the contractor is liable to VA for liquidated damages in the event of a data breach or privacy incident involving any SPI the contractor/subcontractor processes or maintains under this contract. However, it is the policy of VA to forgo collection of liquidated damages in the event the contractor provides payment of actual damages in an amount determined to be adequate by the agency.

Based on the determinations of the independent risk analysis, the contractor shall be responsible for paying to the VA liquidated damages in the amount of $37.50 per affected individual to cover the cost of providing credit protection services to affected individuals consisting of the following:
