Rapid Infuser Anesthesia

This Special Notice announces the Department of Veterans Affairs' intent to issue a sole source delivery order to Belmont Medical Technologies for the purchase of the Belmont Rapid Infuser RI-2 device. The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 07 published the notice to meet the rapid infuser anesthesia requirement at the Dorn Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

The notice seeks to rapidly deliver warmed blood and fluids to combat hypothermia and blood loss during surgical procedures. Interested parties must identify their interest and capabilities in writing by January 11, 2024. However, no award will be made based solely on unsolicited responses; the agency requires clear evidence that competition would provide benefits over a sole source award to Belmont Medical Technologies. The Special Notice therefore outlines the objective of fulfilling an urgent clinical need while allowing for potential competitive alternatives if they prove clearly advantageous to the government.
