Intent to Award Brand Name Evo Tech Endoscope Cleaner and Reprocessor 10th Mission Support Group, Directorate of Contracting, United States Air Force Academy Colorado, intends to award a brand name only commercial purchase order in accordance with FAR Parts 12 & 13. This notice document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-14, 22 Nov 06. The North America Industry Classification System Code [NAICS] is 423450 and the size standard is 500 employees. The requirement is to purchase: 1 each Product number 100012-01 Evo Tech™ GI Suite (1 each 50004,20398, 22591, 20302, 13004001), 1 each Part Number 09003104 CH SEP, OLY>=40 series, 1 each Part Number 09601103 SCOPE CON SET, OLY GI>=40. These items will require identification adhering to DFARS 252.211-7003 (http://farsite.hill.af.mil). The justification for the brand name requirement is as follows: a. This ECR is the only system with FDA clearance to automate manual cleaning. The Evo Tech System’s 33 minute cycle time includes the normally labor-intensive manual cleaning of the scope, which takes 6-10 minutes per scope. Additionally, this system automatically detects leaks thereby eliminatiing the inconsistencies associated with manual inspection. b. The Evo Tech ECR System has a large basin size (21 inches) this helps to prevent endoscope coiling, there potentially reducing endoscope repair costs. c. This system has an integrated MEC monitoring which assures precise results by eliminating the use of test strips. The single use of CIDEX OPA Concentrate Solution safely delivers fresh and consistent single metered dose of high level disinfectant every cycle.
