Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-22-AP-3088

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Indianapolis VA Medical Center

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

The Cardiac Acquisition Module (CAM-14) with the CAM USB A/T interface is easily connected from the patient to your PC’s standard USB port. The CAM-14 provides high-quality ECG presentation for accurate cardiac assessment of your patients. Its outstanding digital signal processing reduces artifact for clearer tracings. • Comprehensive Marquette™ 12SL™ ECG analysis program including ACI-TIPI, gender-specific criteria, 12SL with Right Ventricular Involvement measurement and serial presentation of ECGs; 12SL is one of the most validated ECG analysis programs in the industry and has been cited in numerous independent publications • Multiple configurable report formats are available • Full disclosure data can be stored in the CardioSoft Diagnostic System database and easily accessed remotely via CardioSoft Web; robust editing functions make report generation simple and fast • Seamless connectivity with other GE resting ECG devices such as MAC™ 800, MAC 1200, MAC 1600, MAC 2000, MAC 3500, MAC 5500 and with EMR§ systems • DICOM formatted resting ECG report generated by CardioSoft Diagnostic System is automatically exported to PACS workstations, making physician over-read fast and efficient while speeding up patient throughput • Seamless connectivity to MUSE™ Cardiology Information System for even more workflow efficiencies • Multiple networking options are available (consult CardioSoft Diagnostic System Networking product sheet) • Remote Resting ECG acquisition with Citrix® XenDesktop1 (Windows® 8.1 Estimated amount: $69,240.00

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: HBPC providers are located @ Indianapolis, Terre Haute, West Lafayette and Wakeman CBOC locations. These providers include MD/NP RN/LPN who provide care for patients in their homes daily. These patients are chronically ill and and suffer from a variety of heart related conditions. ECG monitors for home use will help track heart rhythms, cardiac arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillations which can cause serious and life-threatening complications and provide immediate response time to the patient PCP. Currently, HBPC does not have a diagnostic system that utilizes the 12-lead system. This software option is less expensive then purchasing a full-size ECG machine (MAC5500 = $10,744). It also defers the cost of patient travel, via VA transportation, due to being bed-bound or having travel restrictions or overburdening the ER for a single EKG. This solution also doubles our utilization because of its portability and can be used in in our patient service area, which covers greater 60 miles radius. GE Healthcare ECG equipment is already in use within this facility and is compatible with our MUSE interface.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: VIP queried using NAICS 339113 along with keywords “cardiosoft” resulted in zero findings. GE Healthcare is the manufacturer and has one SDVOSB distributor. TrillaMed LLC can provide all of the required items.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
