- Description
- The Jamaica Plain VAMC, located at 150 South Huntington Avenue has a requirement for a procurement of a Xltek/Natus Neurology equipment for Electromylagram (EMG) nerve condition for the nerve conduction studies of Veteran Patients with possible neuromuscular illness /injuries. This equipment allows for improved EMG support for Boston VAHS, as well as consults from within VISN 1. The VA Boston Healthcare System currently has demand to offer patient centered care for patients from facilities and clinics within VISN 1. We have 2 technicians and are working toward being a center of excellence. Natus Neurology is currently the only vendor which manufactures and sells the Xltek/Natus equipment. There other vendors which manufacture EMG equipment but cannot be used because of existing Neurology hardware that cannot be upgraded through this procurement. For example, current Xltek servers will not be replaced and these items contain past studies which can only be compared to current studies using Xltek software. This comparison is imperative for clinical long-term follow up studies for patients who are seen on a regular basis. In addition to servers, certain Xltek hardware items will not be upgraded through and these items are only able to interface through Xltek/Natus devices. This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. Parties may identify their interest, accompanied by supporting literature, to the Contracting Officer no later than 2:00pm EST on 9/4/2014. Responses should be sent to James.Corbett2@va.gov. Information received will be for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
