The anticipated period of performance is for one 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods from the date of award. However, the Government's decision as to whether to continue with the contract, upon annual review, will be based upon successful performance during each previous year and continued need.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The LivaNova® Essenz Perfusion System (Heart-Lung Bypass Units) or equal are designed to provide temporary external circulatory support to the cardio-pulmonary functions by oxygenating the body's venous supply of blood and pumping it back into the arterial system; bypass units perform circulation oxygenation and filtration of the blood. These units are usually assembled in a console, are modular, and contain main components consisting of an arterial pump, a backup arterial pump, one or two suction pumps, an arterial vent pump, a cardioplegia pump, and a backup unit along with some disposable components such as an oxygenator/heat exchanger, a cardiotomy reservoir, blood filters, and tubing.

Heart-Lung Bypass Units are mostly used during open heart surgery, bypassing the heart to facilitate surgery on the organ (e.g., cardiac valve replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting) and are also used for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with severe respiratory disorders.
