B.4 STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Title of the project: 503-23-2-225-0112 DEFIBRILLATORS

2. Purpose of project: Replacement of all Altoona VAMC Defibrillators

3. Background: The Altoona VAMC current equipment does not meet the AHA requirement of providing real time feedback on depth and rate of compressions. Also, current equipment does not measure ETCO2. Current defibrillators do not always transition from AED to defibrillator when the door is opened (like they are supposed to) creating a patient safety issue.

4. Requirement/need: This is a brand name or equal requirement for defibrillators. The brand name used as a reference is as follows: Zoll R Series Plus Defibrillator with Expansion Pack, SpO2, One Step Pacing, EtCO2

25 ea - Zoll R Series Plus Defibrillator with Expansion Pack - SpO2, OneStep Pacing, EtCO2 (mainstream) (OR EQUIVALENT)

1 ea - SurePower Charging Station (OR EQUIVALENT)

29 ea – SurePower Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack

Training for staff in equipment operation

Equivalent products meeting below listed salient characteristics will be considered:

Salient Characteristics:

• Defibrillator must have a FIPS compliant wireless VLAN connection

• The defibrillator shall provide multiple energy levels from 1 to 200J utilizing only

Rectilinear biphasic waveforms.

• The defibrillator shall use one set of electrodes for EKG monitoring and energy delivery for both pacing and defibrillation

• The defibrillator shall have a built-in mechanism for storing paddles when not in use, e.g. when using disposable electrodes. Paddles shall fit snugly in the paddle receptacles. If the defibrillator is equipped with an internal test load, discharging the unit with the paddles in the receptacles shall be safe and easy.

• Internal paddles and their cables shall be easy to clean, sterilizable, well-constructed and shall have adequate strain reliefs. The internal paddle cables shall be straight, not coiled, so that the paddles can rest on a surgical field without being secured. Each set of internal paddles shall be permanently identified to uniquely identify it for tracking.

The vendor shall provide Instructions for Use (cleaning instructions) for internal paddles.

• When internal paddles are connected, the defibrillator energy delivery shall be limited to 50J.

• The discharge buttons on paddles shall be well protected against inadvertent activation.

• Patient cables shall be flexible enough to easily reach a patient at least 2m (6.6ft) away.

• Operating instructions shall be placarded on the unit. These instructions shall be easy to read from a normal viewing angle and shall be easy to understand. The controls for the defibrillation sequence shall be clearly labeled in numeric order and shall be easy to activate.

• The defibrillator shall clearly indicate when the defibrillator is charging and when it is in the charge-ready state.

• The defibrillator shall provide time to charge that is <15 seconds for all starting battery levels except a depleted battery, and for AC powered device regardless of the battery state.

• The defibrillator shall be able to deliver a set of three shocks within 90 seconds.

• A fully charged defibrillator shall automatically disarm (i.e. dump its charge internally) if it is not intentionally discharged within 2 minutes of being charged.

• The defibrillator shall provide synchronous delivery capability.

• The defibrillator shall automatically revert to the defibrillate mode after a synchronous discharge.

• The defibrillator shall have external pacing capability

• The defibrillator shall remove CPR artifact from the ECG thus eliminating the need to pause CPR to visualize the patient’s underlying heart rhythm.

• The defibrillator shall offer different modes for BLS rescuers vs. ACLS rescuers. The default mode at power-on shall be for the BLS rescuer with the capability to manually change to the ACLS rescuer mode.

• To prevent delays in initiating analysis, the unit shall start analysis automatically or shall prompt the operator to initiate analysis.

• The defibrillator shall have capability to monitor ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry (compatible with Nellcor or Masimo probes) and End-tidal CO2.

• Initial or default alarm limits shall be set to values that are likely to provide reasonable protection for most patients.

• Both audible and visual indicators shall be present for any alarm condition that poses a significant risk to the patient. Visual indicators that accompany an alarm condition shall readily indicate which alarm has been violated and this feature shall not be capable of being disabled.

• The status (e.g. on, off, suspended) of the alarms shall always be clearly displayed regardless of which function screen is displayed.

• Audible alarms shall be clearly audible at any setting and shall continue to sound as long as the alarm condition is present or until the alarm is acknowledged/silenced by a clinician.

• Instances in which non-invasive blood pressure measurements cannot be made shall be indicated by an alarm.

• The pulse oximetry capability shall display either a pulse waveform or a signal-strength indicator.

• A recorder with good trace quality shall be provided with the defibrillator.

• The recorded strip shall include periodic annotation of at least the time, date, lead, gain, heart rate, and operating mode.

• The recorded strip shall indicate the occurrence of discharges and shall annotate the set energy. It is desirable for the recorded strip to include indications of charge and disarm status and transthoracic impedance.

• Batteries for the defibrillators shall provide at least four hours of monitoring time or 10 maximum energy shocks.

• Determining battery charge status shall be easy based on the availability of a battery status indicator.

• A battery charging station with multiple bays shall be available for charging spare batteries.

• The defibrillator shall have the capability to communicate wirelessly for data review of a resuscitation event and for synchronization of the clock. That wireless communication must be FIPS 140-2 and the vendor shall provide their FIPS certificate number.

• Stored information shall be retained in the defibrillator until intentionally erased.

Exhaustion or removal of the primary battery shall not erase the information stored in memory.

• A fault condition related to the documentation feature (e.g., capacity full, tape door open, module removed) shall not prevent defibrillator operation.

• The defibrillators shall store data from each use and communicate wirelessly with vendor provided software to analyze that data and trend code information in order that Informatics and the Code Team can review and assess each cardiac arrest treatment as an important aspect of quality assurance as per requirements of VHA Directive 2001-059

2. Training

• On-site training of clinicians shall be provided for all shifts at all facilities as arranged with the facility coordinator. Set up/installation are not required; however, vendor will be required to perform equipment training for nursing staff once items are received.

4. Project Management

• The vendor shall assign one project manager for planning and completing the implementation work. The project manager shall schedule the replacement with the facility coordinator to minimize interruption of service.

• The vendor shall develop a project plan that includes timeline for deployment. The project plan must be provided to the COR within 1 month of contract award.

• The vendor shall execute the project plan.

• The vendor shall schedule periodic status update meetings. These meetings will be conducted throughout the period of performance on an as needed basis.

5. Maintenance & Support

• The defibrillators shall facilitate remote monitoring and troubleshooting, including battery status.

(iv) The business has been verified for ownership and control pursuant to 38 CFR part 74 and is listed in VA’s Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database at https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/vip/; and

(v) The business will comply with VAAR subpart 819.70 and Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations regarding small business size and government contracting programs at 13 CFR parts 121 and 125, provided that any reference therein to a service-disabled veteran-owned small business concern or SDVO SBC, is to be construed to apply to a VA verified and VIP-listed SDVOSB, unless otherwise stated in this clause.

(2) The term “Service-disabled Veteran” means a Veteran, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(2), with a disability that is service-connected, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(16).

(3) The term “small business concern” has the meaning given that term under section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632).

(4) The term “small business concern owned and controlled by Veterans with service-connected disabilities” has the meaning given the term “small business concern owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans” under section 3(q)(2) of the Small Business Act (15 https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar802.asp#802101 https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar802.asp#802101 https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/vip/ https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar819.asp#81970

U.S.C. 632(q)(2)), except that for a VA contract the firm must be listed in the VIP database (see paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this clause).

(b) General. (1) Offers are solicited only from VIP-listed SDVOSBs. Offers received from entities that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs at the time of offer shall not be considered.

(2) Any award resulting from this solicitation shall be made to a VIP-listed SDVOSB who is eligible at the time of submission of offer(s) and at the time of award.

(3) The requirements in this clause apply to any contract, order or subcontract where the firm receives a benefit or preference from its designation as an SDVOSB, including set-asides, sole source awards, and evaluation preferences.

(c) Representation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(e), only VIP-listed SDVOSBs are considered eligible to receive award of a resulting contract. By submitting an offer, the prospective contractor represents that it is an eligible SDVOSB as defined in this clause, 38 CFR part 74, and VAAR subpart 819.70.

(d) Agreement. When awarded a contract action, including orders under multiple-award contracts, an SDVOSB agrees that in the performance of the contract, the SDVOSB shall comply with requirements in VAAR subpart 819.70 and SBA regulations on small business size and government contracting programs at 13 CFR part 121 and part 125, including the non-manufacturer rule and limitations on subcontracting requirements in 13 CFR 121.406(b) and 13 CFR 125.6. Unless otherwise stated in this clause, a requirement in 13 CFR parts 121 and 125 that applies to an SDVO SBC, is to be construed to also apply to a VIP-listed SDVOSB. For the purpose of limitations on subcontracting, only VIP-listed SDVOSBs (including independent contractors) shall be considered eligible and/or “similarly situated” (i.e., a firm that has the same small business program status as the prime contractor). An otherwise eligible firm further agrees to comply with the required certification requirements in this solicitation (see 852.219- 75 or 852.219-76 as applicable). These requirements are summarized as follows:

(1) Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs (excluding direct costs to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and the SDVOSB/VOSB does not provide the service, such as airline travel, cloud computing services, or mass media purchases).

When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract.

(2) Supplies/products. (i) In the case of a contract for supplies or products (other than from a non-manufacturer of such supplies), the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs. When a contract includes both supply and services, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the supply portion of the contract.

https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar819.asp#81970 https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar819.asp#81970 https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar852.asp#85221975 https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar852.asp#85221975 https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/vaar852.asp#85221976

(ii) In the case of a contract for supplies from a non-manufacturer, the SDVOSB prime contractor will supply the product of a domestic small business manufacturer or processor, unless a waiver as described in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(5) has been granted. Refer to 13 CRF 125.6(a)(2)(ii) for guidance pertaining to multiple item procurements.

(3) General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs.

(4) Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, no more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, may be paid to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs.

(5) Subcontracting. An SDVOSB must meet the NAICS size standard assigned by the prime contractor and be listed in VIP to count as similarly situated. Any work that a first tier VIP-listed SDVOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the percent of subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. For supply or construction contracts, the cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the portion of the contract with the preponderance of the expenditure upon which the assigned NAICS is based.

Any work that a similarly situated VIP-listed subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(ii) [ ] In the case of a contract for supplies from a nonmanufacturer, it will supply the product of a domestic small business manufacturer or processor, unless a waiver as described in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(5) is granted. The offeror understands that, as provided in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(7), such a waiver has no effect on requirements external to the Small Business Act, such as the Buy American Act or the Trade Agreements Act.

(2) Manufacturer or nonmanufacturer representation and certification. [Offeror fill-in—check each applicable box below. The offeror must select the applicable provision below, identifying itself as either a manufacturer or nonmanufacturer]:

Information Technology Value Added Reseller exception to NAICS code 541519, which is found at 13 CFR 121.201, footnote 18).

[ ] The offeror certifies that it is primarily engaged in the retail or wholesale trade and normally sells the type of item being supplied.

(3) The offeror acknowledges that this certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States. The offeror further acknowledges that this certification is subject to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and, as such, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the offeror subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution.

(4) If VA determines that an SDVOSB/VOSB awarded a contract pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127 did not act in good faith, such SDVOSB/VOSB shall be subject to any or all of the following:

(i) Referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee;

(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 645(g)(1)); and

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract or to determine whether the offeror qualifies as a manufacturer or nonmanufacturer in compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement. Contracting officers may, at their discretion, require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during performance and upon completion of a contract if the information regarding such compliance is not already available to the contracting officer.

Evidence of compliance includes, but is not limited to, invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.

(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.

(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.
