HCA SIgned NCO 4 Lebanon Consignment_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Determination and Findings (D&F) for a Consignment Agreement between the Lebanon VA Medical Center and a vendor for Alcon Vivity Intraocular Lenses (IOLs). The Lebanon VAMC intends to procure multifocal intraocular implants for their Surgical Service department, estimating 250 procedures per year. The agreement covers a base year with four additional option years, with a minimum guaranteed amount of $25,000.00 for the base period. The procurement strategy involves using a consignment agreement to ensure immediate availability of IOLs, reduce duplicate inventory costs, and eliminate the need for upfront inventory purchases.

The document highlights that these multifocal IOLs provide patients the ability to focus on intermediate distances without additional glasses, which reduces overall decreasing costs to Veterans Affairs. The procurement will be unrestricted and solicited via a formal request for quotation to increase competition. The acquisition is being processed under Acquisition ID# 36C244-24-AP-4664, with the procurement following VHA Procurement Guide procedures, including a legal review, signed Consignment Agreement Delivery Method documentation, and an established accountability file. The document is digitally signed by the Contracting Officer, Branch Chief, and Executive Director of the Regional Procurement Office East, with signatures dated February 4, 2025.
