6515--MUSE NX-iRhythm Integration Modules

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, is seeking sources for a MUSE NX upgrade to the GH Healthcare MUSE Cardiology Information Management System at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System. The primary objective is to acquire a brand name software platform and hardware upgrade that can seamlessly integrate with existing electrocardiography equipment, Holter monitoring devices, ECG testing equipment, and GE Healthcare Case Stress testing systems across AMAVHCS medical facilities. The RFI (Request for Information) requires potential vendors to provide comprehensive details about their capabilities, including business size status, FDA clearances, compliance with the Buy American Act, lead times, and pricing for market research purposes. Vendors must respond to 19 specific detailed questions and submit their responses via email to hayley.nuno@va.gov by February 24, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST. The procurement falls under NAICS category 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors. While the RFI does not specify a precise award value or budget range, it emphasizes that this is a market research exercise and not an actual solicitation. The procurement targets a comprehensive technology upgrade for cardiology information management systems, which implies potential significant investment in medical technology infrastructure. The timeline for implementation is not explicitly detailed in the document, though the response deadline of February 24, 2025, suggests active procurement planning. The PSC (Product Service Code) is 6515, specifically categorized under "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies," which further clarifies the nature of the required technological solution. Vendors are advised that their responses will be used strictly for planning purposes and do not guarantee future contract opportunities.
