The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) is issuing this Sources Sought Notice in accordance with the FAR 10.002(b)(2) as a means of conducting market research to identify qualified sources with the capability and the resources to meet the Veterans Health Administration s (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program requirement for Electrocardiogram Data Management Systems (ECGDMS).

The SAC in conjunction with VHA is seeking a qualified source to supply brand name or equal GE MUSE ECGDMS or equal product on an agency-wide basis.

VA intends to award a single Requirements Contract with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) orders IAW FAR 16.503, Requirements Contract to a supplier of this equipment. Vendors will be required to deliver ECGDMS to VA medical centers and facilities throughout the United States.

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 Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the ECGDMS product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) single award Requirements contract.

ECG Data Management Systems (ECGDMS) are designed to store and manage data from a variety of non-invasive diagnostic cardiovascular procedures, such as resting and exercise electrocardiography, echocardiography, and electrophysiology studies. Unlike most Cardiology Information and Image Management Systems (CIIMS) which provide similar data storage functions, ECG data management systems are specifically designed to store and analyze ECG waveforms to assist with diagnosis and facilitate data retrieval when physicians need to compare newly acquired ECGs to older tracings for the same patient. Most systems can also store and analyze data from cardiac stress tests and other diagnostic procedures. Some systems allow for digital dictation and storage of physician interpretation information.

The objective is to provide brand name GE MUSE ECGDMS or equal ECGDMS to be used by clinicians throughout the VA medical centers and facilities. The period of performance is for a base of 12-months with four 12-month option periods.
