6515--Olympus BPA GI

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration VISN 1 intends to award a five-year blanket purchase agreement to Olympus America Inc. to lease gastrointestinal endoscopy equipment including therapeutic and diagnostic endoscopes, video processors, light sources, and supplementary hardware and software. The agreement would also include a maintenance service contract to ensure the highly sophisticated equipment is properly maintained by the original equipment manufacturer. Responses to the pre-solicitation notice were due by August 25, 2020.

The BPA will be awarded on a sole-source basis to Olympus America Inc. given the specialized nature of the equipment. There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The NAICS code is 334510 and the PSC code is 6515. The agreement will allow the VA to add or replace equipment as needed over the five-year period at prorated lease rates. Olympus will provide installation, training, loaner equipment during repairs, and disposal of any traded-in items under the maintenance contract.
