Philips Physiological Monitoring System and Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VA VISN 15) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential authorized providers for Philips Physiological Monitoring System equipment and maintenance services. The RFI seeks vendors capable of supplying equipment, software, upgrades, and maintenance for the Philips PIC iX monitoring system used across multiple VA medical facilities in Missouri and Kansas, including locations in Wichita, Topeka, Leavenworth, Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis, Marion, and Poplar Bluff. Interested vendors must submit responses by 3:00 PM CST on January 6, 2024, via email to jessica.barton1@va.gov, with submissions limited to five pages and including critical information such as company details, capability statements, business size, socioeconomic status, manufacturing country of origin, and applicable contract numbers. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and will be evaluated based on their ability to provide comprehensive physiological monitoring system solutions. This is a market research initiative, and no proposals are being accepted at this time.

The procurement falls under NAICS category 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a small business size standard of $34 million, indicating potential opportunities for small business participation. The anticipated contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price agreement, though specific award values are not yet disclosed. The RFI covers procurement across multiple VA medical centers, suggesting a potentially significant contract scope. While no specific incumbent contractors are mentioned, the focus on Philips PIC iX monitoring systems implies existing equipment and potential upgrade or replacement needs. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capabilities, manufacturing credentials, and compliance with VA requirements. The wide geographic distribution of medical facilities (eight locations across Missouri and Kansas) suggests a comprehensive and potentially complex service requirement that will demand robust logistical and technical support capabilities from potential contractors.
