This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is a request for quotations (RFQ) for Brand Name or Equal items. The Federal Government contemplates a firm-fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2019-01. Those providing a quotation should thoroughly review the Price Cost Schedule of Supplies and Services, Salient Characteristics, and be familiar with the requirements of the solicitation prior to submitting a quote in order to be fully aware of the scope of supplies and/or services required. Failure to do so will not relieve the successful quoter from performing in accordance with the strict intent and meaning of the specifications without additional cost to the Government. The Government shall not reimburse any cost not incorporated into the quoter s price, except as otherwise set forth herein. The San Francisco VA Medical Center, located at 4150 Clement Street, San Francisco 94121 is seeking to purchase a surgical camera visualization platform for its eight (8) surgery suites. Interested companies shall provide Brand Name or Equal quotations of the items in the Price Cost Schedule of Supplies and Services. The Price Cost Schedule of Supplies and Services is an attachment to this solicitation. The manufacturer of the brand name items is Stryker Endoscopy. Award shall be made to the quoter who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR and whose quotation conforms to the solicitation; and whose quote, judged by an overall assessment of the quoter s qualifications specified in this solicitation, meets the technically acceptable standard for the non-price factors and provides the lowest evaluated price. To meet the technically acceptable standards, quotes must conform to the solicitation, and items quoted must be either brand name or meet the salient characteristics of this solicitation. For any quote to be considered, quoter must be a registered service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) System at https://www.vip.vetbiz.va.gov/.

(c) The delivery of gray market items to the VA in the fulfillment of an order/award constitutes a breach of contract.  Accordingly, the VA reserves the right to enforce any of its contractual remedies. This includes termination of the contract or, solely at the VA s election, allowing the vendor to replace, at no cost to the Government, any remanufactured or gray market item(s) delivered to a VA medical facility upon discovery of such items.   Any quotes submitted for any name brand items must be from an OEM, authorized distributor, authorized reseller, authorized dealer, or authorized partner, or quote will be rejected as nonresponsive.
