(v) This combined synopsis solicitation is for the purchase of Gastro-intestinal Endoscopes and Bronchoscopes that operate with the current system in place. Any response shall include manufacturer plus parts list, along with details on how such item(s) will operate with current equipment. Responses shall be on an all or none basis, no partial submission. The Government reserves the right to make no award at all. (vi) A description of the items to be acquired is in the following Statement of Works x 2 for each set of endoscopes: STATEMENT OF WORK: GI Endoscopic Equipment Gastroenterology Section / Medical Service INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The San Juan VAMC is in need of the latest generation diagnostic/therapeutic endoscopes and maintenance and repair services. Having the latest technology will provide GI physicians the appropriate tools to better diagnose and treat diseases of the digestive tract. It helps to perform a precise diagnosis of the existence of ulcers, benign and malignant tumor lesions, lesions causing internal bleeding, etc. Also it facilitates the taking of biopsies and the performance of different therapeutic techniques. The purchase of this equipment will bring multiple benefits to our patients and the institution. It will guarantee that our patients are receiving state of the art evaluation and treatment. SCOPE OF WORK: The requested endoscopic equipment will be installed by the vendor with the support of Biomedical personnel. The vendor is responsible for the equipment maintenance for a 60 month period covered by a full service agreement as a base and four option period, beginning on date of award. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: All labor, training and maintenance are going to take place at VACHS Gastroenterology Section facility under VACHS policies. VA Caribbean Healthcare System shall limit access to those individuals requiring access to perform functions related with this equipment. WORK REQUIREMENTS: The vendor shall provide all labor, training and all other resources required to deliver the requirements stated herein. All vendor employees have to successfully complete the Cyber Security Awareness and Rules of Behavior Training and the appropriate VA Privacy training based on their skill trade as it relates to privacy or security in their work on this procurement. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES: All equipment acquired shall be fully compatible with existing technology within the section. The San Juan VAMC currently utilizes the Olympus Endoworks 7 reporting system. Therefore the new equipment/system must interface with institution HL7 support system and allow transmission of clinical images, procedure reports and critical patient data to patient s electronic medical record system. Also the requested equipment shall have full compatibility with the existing scopes including the models GIF 2Y-160, TJF-Q180V, GIF-XP180N and SIF-Q180 and the Automated Endoscope Reprocessors/Medivators. However, the vendor may offer an entire new system that emulates the current utilized system. The vendor will include all the training, installation and maintenance.
