6515 - Polysomnography - Sleep Lab EEG Analyzers and Software

The following is a Source Sought Notice. This posted notice is not a Pre- Solicitation or Solicitation document. The Government is not currently soliciting bids, quotes, or proposals at this time; however, reserves the right to do so at a later date.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center, has a requirement for new a new polysomnography system. The intended use is to properly monitor Veterans during sleep studies.

Required Salient Characteristics:

• Comprehensive PSG/EEG capability with multi‑channel acquisition suitable for in‑lab sleep studies (e.g., EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, respiratory effort, airflow, SpO₂, body position).
• High‑fidelity signal sampling and low‑noise design adequate for clinical scoring and review, with bedside impedance or equivalent real‑time quality checks.
• Synchronized video (HD/IR or equivalent) and audio options to support behavioral correlation during studies.
• Flexible hardware configurations (e.g., head boxes, breakout boxes, portable modules) enabling standard to advanced PSG workflows.
• Secure, enterprise‑ready deployment (e.g., role‑based access, encryption, remote access/Citrix‑style environments).
• Standards‑aligned scoring (e.g., AASM‑compliant workflows) and configurable reporting.
• Interoperability with hospital systems (e.g., HL7 or similar bi‑directional integration) and support for common data formats (e.g., EDF/EDF+ or equivalent).
• Scalable database/archiving suitable for multi‑room or multi‑site operations (e.g., SQL‑based or equivalent).
• Therapy titration support (e.g., PAP interfaces) with tools to document settings and outcomes.

Basic Functionalities:

• Set up and run sleep studies efficiently, including patient registration, quick hook‑ups, and live signal checks.
•  Collect and stream PSG data reliably with options for real‑time review during acquisition and fault‑tolerant recording to network storage.
• Provide automated event detection (e.g., apneas, hypopneas, arousals, limb movements) with manual review and editing tools.)
• Support synchronized video review alongside waveforms for scoring and documentation.
• Enable configurable montages, filters, and workspaces to match local protocols and user preferences.
• Generate customizable reports (e.g., Word/PDF templates) with summary statistics and trends; allow export to common formats.
• Integrate with EMR/HIS systems for order intake and results posting; support secure remote access for authorized users.
• Offer therapy titration workflows (e.g., PAP) and capture therapy parameters within the study record.
• Provide administration tools for user roles, software deployment/updates, and centralized lab settings.
