Requirement Description:
VA has a requirement to purchase Phacoemulsification Units to deliver patient care at its VA Medical Centers around the country. Phacoemulsification Units are used to break up and remove cataractous lenses of the eye. A cataract is a foggy area in the normally transparent lens that inhibits the transmission of light to the retina and causes a painless blurring of vision and/or glare from lights. Cataracts are caused by changes in the chemical composition of the lens associated with many factors: age, environment, drugs, systemic diseases, traumatic eye injuries, certain diseases of the eye, and genetic or birth defects. Age-related cataracts are the most common. If cataracts are not treated, progressive vision loss leading to significantly impaired sight can occur.
A single award Requirements contract will be awarded IAW FAR 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal in accordance with all terms, conditions, provisions, specifications, and schedule of this solicitation herein.
