The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 4, Network Contracting Office 4 (NCO 4), is seeking information and potential qualified sources capable of providing Brand Name Only Pure Steel Reprocessing Sinks. The machine will be delivered to the Lebanon VA Medical Center, located in Lebanon, PA 17042.
Title of Project: Brand Name Only Sterile Processing Service (SPS) 2-Bay and 3-Bay Ergonomic Reprocessing Sink with Built-in GFCI Electrical Outlets and Accessories
Scope of Need: Vendor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in this Statement of Need (SON), except as may otherwise be specified. Vendor shall provide one (1) SPS 2-Bay Reprocessing Sink and one (1) SPS 3-Bay Reprocessing Sink as well as accessories to the Lebanon VA Medical Center.
Background: Lebanon VA Medical Center has a current need for one (1) SPS 2-bay reprocessing sink and one (1) SPS 3-bay reprocessing sink with accessories. The current reprocessing sinks were recommended to be upgraded by VISN SPS Auditors in May 2024. In addition, a Hazard Surveillance Inspection was completed in June which resulted in two findings. The first finding was that the current sinks are ergonomically incorrect for accommodating the diverse heights of SPS staff. The second finding was that the current sinks didn t have built-in GFCI outlets causing outlets to be overloaded, which is a facility safety hazard. Therefore, the requirement exists for the new sinks to be within safety requirements having ergonomic capabilities for diverse height of SPS staff, as well as having built-in GFCI electrical outlets (not power cords and power strips).
Delivery: Delivery shall occur within 90 days of contract award in coordination with the Point of Contact (POC).
Type of Contract: Firm Fixed Price, Brand Name Only
General Requirement: The Lebanon VA Medical Center has a Brand Name Only requirement for Pure Steel 2-Bay and Pure Steel 3-Bay Ergonomic Reprocessing Sinks with Built-in GFCI Electrical Outlets and Accessories.
