- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Notice. A Firm Fixed Price contract with one 12 month base period and three 12 month option periods is contemplated. VISN 09 Acquisition Service Center has a requirement to procure Gastroenterology Services, to include Colonoscopy procedures for veteran beneficiaries of the The James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center (JHQVAMC), Mountain Home, TN. Gastroenterology Services and Colonoscopy Services are an integral aspect of the care of veteran patients. The current capacity of the JHQVAMC is far less than the needs of a full colon cancer-screening program. JHQVAMC projects an estimated 1000 patients will require colonoscopy services each year above the current capacity. These patients will be referred to the awarded contractor. The Contractor shall be located within a 30-mile+/- radius of the JHQVAMC, Mountain Home, TN, providing services and performing procedures at an accredited endoscopy facility that has the proper equipment and supplies necessary to perform the required services in one or more locations. Contractor shall provide colonoscopies, inclusive of CPT codes 45378-45385 and attendant procedures (CPT 45330), as clinically needed. It is anticipated that all applicable procedures for a given patient will be performed in a single session. Repeat procedures, if indicated, will be cleared and scheduled by the VA as a new session. Repeat sessions include a small number of cases where the prep was poor, or there were too many polyps to remove in one session, or incomplete removal of a polyp warranted repeat examination. The Contractor shall also provide from 4 to 8 hours per week services on site at the JHQVAMC and will have access to appropriate staff and resources to accomplish procedures. On site contract provider must adhere to JHQVAMC Credentialing and Privileging, Background Investigation and computer access requirements as well as other applicable VA regulations, policies, and operating procedures. To express interest in the requirement, to be added to the bidders list or to submit questions, please contact the Contracting Officer, Sherita Crosby via email at sherita.crosby@va.gov. This is not a request for offers; however, interested parties are encouraged to respond to this sources sought to express interest in order to be specifically included in the bidders list.
