STATEMENT OF WORK FOR SPECIALIZED SURGICAL CONTAINERS Title of Project: Rigid Surgical Instrument Containers/Trays and Baskets needed for the Sterile Processing Service at the Brooklyn Campus of VA New York Harbor Healthcare System (VA NYHHS) Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW), except as may otherwise be specified. This request is to purchase the required rigid surgical instrument containers and baskets needed to sterilize surgical instruments in the Sterile Processing Service at the Brooklyn Campus. Background: Surgical instrument sets are placed in rigid containers to: categorize and group instruments by specialties and for ease of use during surgeries; provide the greatest microbial barrier of protection for surgical instruments; and serve as the best protective barrier for excess handling as opposed to sets that are wrapped in sterilization wrappers. Large groups of instruments make up a 'set' that need to be placed in a rigid container for sterilization. The containers are subjected to frequent washing (exposure to enzymatic detergents), and extreme temperatures both during washing and sterilization (>270°F degrees). Sets are of various sizes and so are the containers. Without containers, the sets have to be wrapped for sterilization. Wrapped sets/trays present ongoing problems for the end-users and SPS because of the high incidences of holes or tears in the wraps. Surgeries are often delayed and sometimes cancelled when this occurs. Non-sterile sets (sets with holes in the wrap) necessitate reprocessing, which is costly, time consuming, sometimes lessens the life of RMEs, and can negatively affect patient satisfaction and care due to delays and possible cancellations. Aesculap sterilization containers are already in use at the Brooklyn Campus and staff are trained to use them. The requested containers and baskets are needed to replace the old, worn and in some cases, damaged containers currently in use at the Brooklyn Campus. Requirements The VA NYHHS Sterile Processing Service is requesting the following specialized surgical instrument containers/trays. An exact match is requested for all products noted below.
