6515--NX EQ Circulatory Assist Units: Intra-Aortic Balloon

1. SCOPE OF WORK: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment (NX) National Program has identified the Circulatory Assist Units: Intra-Aortic Balloon product line as a candidate for inclusion in the National Equipment Catalog (NEC). This will be accomplished via the awarding of one or more Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). Circulatory Assist Units: Intra-Aortic Balloon produce mechanical counterpulsation to reduce the afterload to the heart and increase coronary and cerebral blood flow. These devices consist of an inflatable balloon catheter, which is placed in the aorta attached to an external unit that includes a pneumatic system, regulating the automated inflation and deflation of the balloon in synchronism with the cardiac cycle; they include monitors of the physiologic parameters of the patient (e.g., heart rate, arterial pressure) and also of balloon pressure and volume. The inflated intra-aortic balloon forces the blood toward the heart during each diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Intra-aortic balloon circulatory assist units are used to improve cardiovascular functioning during cardiac failures that constitute life-threatening emergencies. The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The objective is to provide Circulatory Assist Units: Intra-Aortic Balloon to be used by clinicians throughout the VA medical centers and facilities. The period of performance is for a 60-month ordering period. 2. REQUIREMENT The objective of this procurement is to establish BPAs for Circulatory Assist Units: Intra-Aortic Balloon for inclusion in the NEC and nationwide usage. VHA aims to ensure availability and consistency of NX equipment and to obtain volume-based, standardized pricing. VHA desires to continue the practice of achieving cost avoidance while simultaneously balancing clinician considerations for obtaining quality equipment. For each product, the quoter must include a description reflecting the minimum technical requirements (MTRs) and level of quality that will satisfy the physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the product(s) specified in the solicitation. The quoter must also clearly identify the item by brand name (if any) and make/model number. Finally, the quoter 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.
