- Description
- The Jamaica Plain VAMC located at 150 South Huntington Avenue, Boston has a requirement for one PICOSURE PICOSECOND Aesthetic WorkStation. This piece of equipment comes with Alexandrite Laser and Zoom Hand piece 755nm wavelength with Aiming Beam on-site installation and clinical in-service with a one year equipment warranty. The VA intends to negotiate on a sole source basis pursuant to FAR 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements with Cynosure for the procurement of 20 the above referenced medical equipment for the Jamaica Plain VAMC's Dermatology Service. Product Description Equipment includes Alexandrite laser and Zoom Handpiece. 755nm wavelength. Aiming Beam. System includes Zoom Handpiece featuring adjustable spot size on 0.1mm increments: 2mm - 6mm; One each 6,8 10mm spot size Handpiece; Touchscreen operating system; 1 Footswitch assembly; two pair Laser Safety Goggles (755nm) 1 pair patient safety eyewear; Laser warning sign, Interlock Plug, Operating Keys, Operator manual and Clinical Manual; Freight. Salient Characteristics According to research, the PicoSure Picosecond Aesthetic WorkStation is the first major breakthrough in the laser industry in the last ten years. It represents a decade of research and development by its manufacturer, Cynosure, as well as numerous clinical studies in the Archives of Dermatology. It is far and away the best system on the market for the removal of tattoos as well as other indications such as pigment, acne scars and potentially surgical scars. Based upon research this system is expected to be the gold standard for the next ten years. Market research found no information regarding this piece of equipment. Nothing upon the NAC or GSA Advantage site was found resembling this system. A google search indicated only Cynosure's name with a picosecond aesthetic workstation. This is imperative at this current time that this only known such system be procured for the drastic improvement regarding Veteran patient care. 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 09/19/2014. 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.
