- Re: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Introduction The General Services Administration (GSA) is considering a new requirement to provide an optical coherence tomography (OCT) to the VA Hospital located in Ft. Harrison, Montana. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Request for Information (RFI). The purpose of this RFI is to gather data and current market place information from industry, including small business firms. The information obtained from this RFI will be used to assist in developing the most suitable acquisition strategy. Furthermore, interested parties will not be reimbursed for any costs related to providing information in response to this RFI. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for these services is 423450, Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers, with a small business size of 200 people. This RFI is meant to achieve the following goals: 1.) To survey the market place to determine what type of firms are available to provide this equipment. A. General Description of the Services Requested Two Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machines are requested. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a commonly performed diagnostic test designed to assist the doctor in identifying retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic retinopathy (diabetic eye disease). With an optical coherence tomography (OCT) we can look closely at the retina and obtain a virtual, non-invasive biopsy. Similar to a CAT scan, the OCT uses infrared light rather than x-rays to form a cross-sectional view of the retina. This detailed image of the retina allows the doctor to see the retina at a microscopic level and detect swelling in the retina. The devices should have the following salient characteristics: SMART HD SCANS, FASTTRAC, ALL PRIOR LICENSED FEATURES, ADVANCED RPE, GCA, ANTERIOR SEGMENT BASIC, PRINTER & TABLE. OCT Imaging Methodology Spectral domain OCT Optical source Superluminescent diode (SLD), 840 nm Scan speed 27K- 68K A-scans per second A-scan 2.0 mm (in tissue), 1024 Axial resolution 5 μm (in tissue) Transverse resolution 15 μm (in tissue) Fundus Imaging Methodology Line scanning opthalmoscope (LSO) Live fundus image During alignment and during OCT scan Optical source Superluminescent diode (SLD), 750 nm Field of view 36 degrees W x 30 degrees H Frame rate > 20 Hz Transverse resolution 25 μm (in tissue) Iris Imaging Methodology CCD camera Resolution 1280 x 1024 Live iris image During alignment Electrical and Physical Weight 80 lbs (36 kg) Dimensions of instrument 26L x 18W x 21H (in) 65L x 46W x 53H (cm) Dimensions of table 39L x 22W (in) 99L x 56W (cm) Fixation Internal, external Internal fixation focus adjustment -20D to +20D (diopters) Electrical rating (115V) Single Phase, 100–120V~ systems: 50/60Hz, 5A Electrical rating (230V) Single Phase, 220–240V~ systems: 50/60Hz, 2.5A Internal Computer Operating system/processor Windows® 7, 4 th generation i7 Intel® processor Memory 16 GB Hard drive/internal storage ≥ 2 T > 200,000 scans Display Integrated 19“ color flat panel display USB ports 6 ports B.
