DISCLAIMER This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked as proprietary will be handled accordingly. IAW FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

The purpose of this Sources Sought Announcement is for market research only to make appropriate acquisition decisions and to gain knowledge of Small Business Capability, including Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses and Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB/VOSB) interested and capable of performing the work. 3. The NAICS for this requirement is 811219 - OTHER ELECTRONIC AND PRECISION EQUIPMENT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. 4. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 22 Network Contracting Office, is seeking sources that can provide Marking and Commissioning of Medical -surgical and Dental Instrumentation Service at the VA San Diego Healthcare System (VASDHS). The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools and supervision, and equipment necessary to complete the requirements. The VA San Diego Healthcare System is located at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92161. Multiple Veteran Integrated System Network (VISN) VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) have installed a Dental and Medical-Surgical instrument and reusable medical equipment (RME) tracking solution developed by Censis Technologies, Inc. (Censis) called Censitrac. All instruments require a 2-dimensional data matrix that uniquely identifies the instrument. The marking or stencil is applied by a marking station supplied by Censis and then details about the instrument are entered into the Censitrac database. As the instrument travels through the sterilization process, the electrochemical mark is scanned such that the instrument can be tracked through the process. Some instruments cannot be marked based on chemical, surface, electromagnetic, or material characteristics of which the instruments are made and these instruments are instead supplementary marked with a dot or tape which contains a pre-printed 2D matrix barcode on a small surface with a semi-permanent adhesive backing. These supplementary dots/tapes withstand repeat sterilizations without adverse effect. VASDHS is seeking sources to initiate/complete the implementation of their Censis System with completion of marking and commissioning services for their instrument inventory; this requirement is for the scope of services required for VASDHS to finalize all marking and commissioning of dental and medical-surgical instruments utilizing VA developed data standards and guidance. 5.
