6515--4K OR Tower Lease

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically the New Mexico Healthcare System located at Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center in Albuquerque, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for leasing five endoscopic 4K OR tower systems with full-service equipment repair and maintenance. The VA is seeking vendors capable of providing high-resolution medical imaging equipment for surgical procedures including arthroscopy, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and robotic surgeries. Interested vendors must respond by December 20, 2024, at 4:00 PM PT via email to Bridgett.Sharma@VA.gov, demonstrating their capabilities across several key areas such as business size status, manufacturer/distributor credentials, Buy American Act compliance, and FDA clearances. Evaluation criteria will focus on vendors' ability to meet salient characteristics and provide comprehensive equipment solutions. The RFI falls under NAICS code 339112 with a size standard of 1,000 employees and is primarily used for market research to inform future acquisition decisions.

The procurement does not have a specific small business set-aside, though vendors are encouraged to highlight their status in categories like SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB. The contract structure includes a base year from March 9, 2025, to March 8, 2026, with four additional option years extending through March 8, 2030. The specific equipment requirements mandate 4K or better resolution systems with BT2020 color gamut, specifying Olympus America as the preferred brand with detailed part number specifications. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement involves five complete tower systems, each including camera control units, camera heads, specialized lenses, light sources, and associated surgical instruments and accessories. The VA is seeking a firm-fixed price contract that ensures compatibility with existing medical equipment and meets stringent technical and medical standards.
