- Description
- Sources Sought Notice only. This is neither a solicitation nor a request for quote (RFQ) and does not obligate the Government to award a contract. Request for a solicitation will not receive a response. The Government will not pay nor reimburse any costs of preparing this response. The purpose of this sources sought notice is for market research to make the appropriate acquisition decisions and to gain knowledge of potential qualified and their Small Business Administration (SBA) size classification in relation to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334510, Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, size standard of 1,250 Employees. The Network Contracting Office (NCO) 08, Orlando Veterans Affairs Healthcare System is seeking a source to provide Neurology Electromyography (EMG) System to the Department of Veterans Affairs Orlando VA Healthcare System, 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando, FL, 32827. Seeking qualified businesses to provide the following: The contractor shall deliver the following item Brand Name or Equal: The salient features of the set are as follows: Desktop Base Unit The desktop base unit should provide the following components: Two electrical stimulators; one auditory stimulator and one visual LED stimulator. (External monitor for pattern display and or goggles.) Up to 12 switchable output sites. (Applicable for IOM. Not in NCS) Built-in audio speaker for output of both live signals as well as playback of recorded data (line-out, line-in, and speaker out connections), with Audio speaker Notch filter adjustable to 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or off. Able to connect via USB (2.0) connection to computer. Two trigger inputs and two trigger outputs for connection to external devices. Input/output for additional devices to connect (patient response unit, footswitch, control panel, reflex hammer, bone conductors, etc.) Disconnect/reconnect feature to stop any stimulation after a few seconds of lost communication between base unit and the computer. Built-in Digital Signal Processor. Computer Monitor Minimum display resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels Amplifier The amplifier connects to the base unit, and should have the following components: 5-channel minimum with 2 non-switched amplifier channels (option of up to 16 channels) Utilizes a 24-bit Analog to Digital Converter. 4800 data points per trace in routine motor and sensory nerve conduction study (i.e. 48 kHz sampling rate for saved data). Disconnect/reconnect feature that will allow amplifier to be disconnected or reconnected without powering off the base unit. Stimuli artifact suppression hardware to prevent stimuli artifact from saturating the amplifier. This allows for a quicker baseline recovery making it easier to detect and measure small responses. Electrode impedance measurement minimum at 20 Hz with a range from 500 to 450 k . Rectangular calibration pulse selectable between 2, 20, 200, 2,000, 20,000 µV. Sensitivity adjustment from 1 µV/division to 10 mV/division in at least 13 steps. (Update) Adjustable filter settings for fixed and switched, and high and low. Stimulator (Electrical) Supports constant voltage and constant current mode Two stimulators can be used for collision based techniques Stimulus output: monophasic or biphasic; single, double or train mode. Conditioning mode delivers two pulses of different intensity from the same stimulator) Programmable buttons. Analog output Available for all channels and in all tests A patient bedside control panel to navigate through software during patient testing. Contains numerical keypad for entering distance. Dedicated keys for single and recurrent stimulation Switch side. 2 Customizable function keys. Dedicated controls of sweep, sensitivity, stimulation, site selection, impedance check, stimulus duration, etc. Single/Triple Footswitch Allows extensive control of the application using a foot. Should be rated IP68 for dust and water immersion. Triple Footswitch allows 2 pedals for customizable functions. Operating System Software The C&A requirements do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. Software options and functionality may vary, and should have the following specifications: Windows 10, Office 2016 Clinical tests should include: Motor Nerve Conduction: Reference values based on age, gender, height and body mass index as recommended by American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Compare findings with previous study. Supports pediatric reference values. Sensory Nerve Conduction: Same as above. Reduce artifact via signal Enhance software feature, on-line and off-line averaging. Replicate and average responses for reproducibility. Supports pediatric reference values. Combined motor and sensory NCS. Carpal tunnel sensory index (CSI). Multi-channel F-Wave: Enhance software feature responses for better assessment H Reflex: Support reflex hammer for stimulation Blink Reflex: Support reflex hammer for stimulation Repetitive Nerve Stimulation: Calculate facilitation within and across a train. Automation in long and short exercise test. Needle EMG: With dual time base. Anatomy images for muscle localization. Store and replay EMG with audio and signal manipulation (1 channel: 960 second, 2 Chan: 600 seconds) Macro EMG: Save and re-play/analyze recording using 2 channels of recordings. Includes entry of fiber density. Volitional and Stimulated Single Fiber EMG: Jitter measurements using level and peak. Multimodality Evoked Potentials: AEP, SEP, VEP, P300, ERG/EOG: Artifact reject per channel. Display of residual noise, Quantitative noise estimate (Fsp). Save individual responses. Multiple averaging algorithms. Replicate and average multiple trials to increase signal quality and reproducibility. Multi-Modality: Sympathetic skin response (single & multi-channel), R-R interval analysis (using Root mean square of successive difference and other calculations), Bareitschafts potential Conduction Velocity Distribution: Automated collision protocol to study conduction is slow fibers. Bareitschafts Potentials: Multi-channel recordings. Save EMG signals for replay and re-analysis. R-R Interval: Analysis using Root mean square of successive difference and other calculations.
