Draft Performance Work Statement

1.0 SCOPE

The Department of Veteran Affairs requires the delivery of computerized interactive reconstructions that are unique to Veteran patients who are being considered for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair to help discern if they are candidates for endovascular repair. In order to determine the most exacting possible manner, the dimensions of endovascular stent graft shall be required for optimal AAA repair.

Computerized interactive reconstructions are required to be obtained on selected post-operative endovascular AAA repair patients who may have endoleaks or other reasons for which revision of the prior repair may be required.

Computerized interactive reconstructions shall provide unique valuable clinical input for patients who may be candidates for carotid stent placement and other unusual clinical situations. In all cases, the required computerized interactive reconstructions allow the provider to obtain extremely accurate centerline measurements and to create a 3D model of endovascular repairs in a manner and degree of accuracy not available through routine CT scan software.

2.0 Technical Requirements

The original CT datasets for VA patients are generated on station using VA CT scanners. Data will be loaded onto disks and transported to the Contractor for development of the computerized interactive reconstructions in a manner consistent with VA Patient Information Security regulations. The Contractor will utilize proprietary software to transform the routine CT data into a form that allows interactive measurements and treatment device planning ensuring the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient data in accordance with VA regulations. The Contractor will provide VA staff access to VA Patient data and unique computerized interactive constructions via password protected Internet access. Access to any individual patient’s interactive model will be limited to only those provider(s) who originally requested the service.
