Support, National Telestroke, Trauma Nurse Critical Care, Surgical Services, and many more.

RJDVAMC is currently using Laerdal products exclusively in our Cardiac Recusation Program and in all areas of real-life simulation training for all medical services. The current Laerdal products in stock needs to be upgraded to maximize learning potentials. Staff are fully familiar with the operation and use. Obtaining other than the requested brand would affect the training concept and documentation process.

The Laerdal simulation equipment is the only product that will allow the 3G manikin to mimic respiratory problems resembling COVID-19 and connect to our ventilators thus allowing for advanced training for healthcare personal. This brand specific requirement will provide a total of thirty-two hours of in person training for four different training sessions in operation, care, and maintenance of the equipment to promote longevity for up to eight students per session. No other brand can provide this service to meet the organizational goals.

However, Per VA PPM 2016- 05 (Revised August 2019) Implementation of the Veterans First Contracting Program, the focus should be on competing requirements among SDVOSBs and VOSBs to achieve a fair and reasonable price.
