- Description
- The VA Connecticut Healthcare System intends to negotiate sole source procurement with Hill-ROM, Highway #46 Batesville, IN 47006 to procure 16 specialized ICU beds. These beds are totally outfitted for critical care use including the ability to move the patient from a recumbent position to a sitting position, sufficient so the patient may step off the end of the bed to ambulate. The heel section of these beds deflates to pressures sufficiently low enough to prevent most heel ulcers. Heel ulcers are a prevalent problem in patients with Diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. These beds will greatly reduce the development of pressure sores; prevent back injury if staff and assist in quicker and safer lifting and mobilization of patients. These beds provide five modules each of continuous lateral rotation therapy, percussion and vibration. Therapy modules may be rotated for use among the beds as patient conditions necessitate use for pneumonia prevention, rotation and prevention of other complications of bed rest. This procurement is under the authority of FAR 6.302. The Government will consider all proposals received by 6/21/02. A determination based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. See note 22
