Any firm that believes it is capable of providing the required service as stated herein may submit a capability statement to document its ability to provide the required services.

If you are submitting a quote for an instrument that is “equal” to the specifications listed, please include specifications, descriptions, and all literature that pertains to the item quoted. GE Logiqe 15" High Resolution LCD screen, TrueScan, TrueAccess, SmartScan, ComfortScan, 40 GB HD, USB, Wireless LAN, B-Mode, M-Mode, Color Flow, Power Doppler, PW Doppler. External CD/DVD-Drive ECG Module with leads NUS cart Carrying Case (Hard Cover) 12L-RS Linear Array Transducer Sony Color Printer Two days on-site applications training 12 month warranty parts and labor, including loaner program Specifications of the items requested. The requested item will be used to assess the flow mediated vascular reactivity in the brachial artery in human volunteer subjects (upon IRB clearance). We will follow the methods recommended by the American College of Cardiology ( ACC) (Guidelines for the ultrasound assessment of endothelial-dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery: a report of the International Brachial Artery Reactivity Task Force (2002). J Am Coll Cardiol 39: 257-265). According to the ACC method the equipment should have the following specifications: •High Resolution LCD screen, •TrueScan, TrueAccess, SmartScan, ComfortScan capabilities •B-Mode, M-Mode capability •ECG Module with leads •Linear Array Transducer Apart from these specifications, we have the following additional requirements that will enhance the outcome of this project: •40 GB HD, USB with Wireless LAN - This feature allows us to store and transfer data whenever necessary. We do not have to depend on external storage devices with this kind of hard drive capacity. •External CD/DVD-Drive - Usually data will be stored as movie clips, since all data taken as live images. These clips are relatively large and need CD/DVD option if we need to transfer for presentation and publication. •Color Printer - It is important to identify the venous blood flow (Blue color) and arterial blood flow (Red Color) to detect the vasodilatation. We need to get printed copies in different time intervals to keep in the data files. It is impossible to identify the venous and arterial blood flow, without color print. •NUS cart with Carrying Case (Hard Cover) - The Ultrasound probe and the unit is quite delicate and need a carrying case and a cart for proper protection doing transport. CCR: Vendors must be registered in the Central Contractor Register (CCR) prior to the award of a contract. You may register by going to www.ccr.gov. You will need your Dun & Bradstreet number and banking information.
