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

The VA Central Iowa Health Care System, 3600 30th Street, Des Moines, IA 50310-1318 requires a brand name only Steris Company AMSCO 7052HP washer/disinfector conveyor for use in a medical environment. The objective of this project is to procure and install Steris Corporation AMSCO® 7052HP washer/disinfector SCS conveyors in conjunction with SAC procurement for the end items being used (Steris Washers), including Standard SCS Double Load/Single Unload with Self Docking TC Adapter, Install SCS Conveyor 3 Modules, and 1st Year Preventive Care Connect AMSCO 7052HP.

The first of its kind, the AMSCO 7052HP Washer/Disinfector delivers a process for cleaning reusable da Vinci® X/Xi and S/Si instruments. The RAS (Robotic Assisted Surgery) Cycle, RAS 12 Racks, and Prolystica Ultra Concentrate HP Enzymatic and Neutral Chemistries are specifically designed to automate the cleaning and disinfection process for da Vinci devices – delivering optimal outcomes and saving you time. High impingement washing powers away soils while providing ANSI/AAMI ST 15883-2 and ISO 15883-2 compliant thermal disinfection with low impingement to ensure the entire load is disinfected.

Touchscreen controls allow operation for automated cleaning and intermediate-level disinfection of reusable surgical instruments and utensils.

Total anticipated procurement value: $63,537.40

4. Unique characteristics that limit availability to Brand Name Only, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

This procurement is limited to brand name only due to compatibility requirements between the afore-mentioned Steris Corporation AMSCO 7052HP washer/disinfector conveyor and previously purchased Steris Corporation brand medical supplies, equipment or appliances currently in use at the Des Moines, IA VAHCS.

5. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

A query of the SBA database with NAICS code 339113 identified two VOSB/SDVOSB’s that may offer the required commodity items. A sources sought was issued 05/07/2026 with a response deadline of 05/18/2026 resulting in the receipt of two responsive SDVOSB’s, one offering the items via FSS, 1 each non-responsive SDVOSB not on FSS, and 1 responsive small business on FSS. A quote was obtained from Steris Corporation by the mission partner located at the Des Moines, IA VAHCS.
