1.0 DESCRIPTION: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program identified Lithotripters as a candidate for VHA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) single award Requirements contract. The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Office of Acquisition Operations (OAO) Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) on behalf of VHA is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.201(e) to determine the availability and technical capabilities of qualified sources. VA intends to award a Requirements Contract with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) orders in accordance with FAR 16.503, Requirements contract to a supplier of this equipment. The SAC in conjunction with VHA is seeking a qualified source to provide the Olympus brand name or equal Lithotripters on an agency wide basis. Vendors will be required to deliver Lithotripters to VHA facilities throughout the United States, U.S. Territories, Guam, and the Philippines. Delivery requirements shall be specified under each individual order. The proposed acquisition will consists of a 12 month base period and two (2) twelve (12) month option periods from the date of award. However, the Government's decision as to whether or not to continue with the contract, upon annual review, will be based upon successful performance during each previous year and continued need. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334510 Electromedical and Electrosurgical Apparatus Manufacturing. All interested Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to receiving an award. You may access SAM at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. All Offerors must be certified with the appropriate NAICS code on VA Vendor Information Pages at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/. This notice is for planning purpose only and does not constitute a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted as a result of this notice. This RFI is part of a continuous process for obtaining the latest information on the commercial status of the industry with respect to their current and near-term abilities. The information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award, a competitive contract. It is emphasized that this is a notice solely for planning and informational purposes 2.0 SCOPE: The scope of this effort falls in line with VA s mission, goals, and objectives in support of providing Veterans care. Lithotripters (also known as tablet counters) is an easier and faster alternative to use than outdated scales and cumbersome tray-and-spatula methods. Automation also maintains absolute inventory accuracy, especially for controlled medications (manual counting methods are only 95% accurate at best). Lithotripters aids with meeting the requirements for patient medication safety, to increase efficiency and reduce costs for VHA Pharmacies. This requirement will be IAW FAR clause 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal which requires that the offeror indicate each product that is being offered as an equal product. For each equal product, the offeror must include a description reflecting the salient characteristics (SC) and level of quality that will satisfy the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the equal product(s) specified in the solicitation. The company must also clearly identify the item by brand name (if any) and make/model number. Finally, the company must include descriptive literature, such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the Contracting Officer, and clearly describe any modifications it plans to make to a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements.
