1. SCOPE OF WORK
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Monitors: Physio: Cardiac Output: Bedside product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) contract.
This procurement is for portable bedside monitors designed to acquire, measure, and process information for the purposes of intermittently measuring and/or continuously monitoring cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped out by the ventricles in a given period of time). Typical functions of a cardiac output bedside monitor include intermittent measurement and/or calculation and display of the cardiac output curve(s), cardiac output index, blood temperature, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance. Some monitors may provide continuous cardiac output monitoring features, additional intermittent or continuous hemodynamic monitoring features, or other functions, such as measurement of venous oxygen saturation.
The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The objective is to provide Monitors: Physio: Cardiac Output: Bedside to be used by clinicians throughout the VA medical centers and facilities. The period of performance is for a base of 12-months with four 12-month option periods.
