Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. The Richmond VAMC is replacing a fleet of Aestiva machines. Four new machines were purchased for the Richmond VAMC in a VISN buy awarded in July 2013, and the service has submitted a request to replace their remaining Aestiva machines with Avance machines to continue standardization.

Best value is achieved in this procurement because standardization allows OR staff to follow and develop one set of SOPs, SPS standardizes the sterilization process, and confusion that could result from multiple machines is eliminated as all of the machines are identical. (6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED: None.

(8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES IS MADE: When these machines reach the end of their usable life, a solicitation will be extended to replace the anesthesia machine fleet at the Richmond VAMC.
