- Solicitation Number: 36C10G21Q0035 Notice Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Synopsis: COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for brand name or equal commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number 36C10G21Q0035 is issued for this combined synopsis/solicitation; this solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This combined synopsis/solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2021-05, dated 10 March 2021. Requirement Description: VA has a requirement to purchase Cryotherapy Tissue Ablation Systems to deliver patient care at its VA Medical Centers around the country. Cryotherapy Tissue Ablation Systems are used for Cryoablation, a process that uses extreme cold (cryo) to destroy or damage tissue (ablation). Cryoablation is used in a variety of clinical applications using hollow needles (cryoprobes) through which cooled, thermally conductive, fluids are circulated through the system. Cryoprobes are inserted into or placed adjacent to tissue which is determined to be diseased in such a way that ablation will provide correction yielding benefit to the patient. When the probes are in place, the cryogenic freezing unit removes heat (""cools"") from the tip of the probe and by extension from the surrounding tissues. Common applications of cryoablation is to ablate solid tumors found in the lung, liver, breast, kidney and prostate and for therapy intended to ablate particular tissues using catheterization procedures (e.g., cardiac). Specifically, Cardiac Cryoablation is a therapy that uses the removal of heat from tissue to treat cardiac arrhythmias. It restores normal electrical conduction by freezing the cardiac tissue or pathways that interfere with the normal distribution of the heart s electrical impulses. Cardiac Cryotherapy Tissue Ablation Systems are being procured to address this requirement and allow integration and compatibility with current Cryotherapy Tissue Ablation Systems in use. A single award Requirements contract will be awarded for the purchase of brand name or equal equipment in accordance with all terms, conditions, provisions, specifications, and schedule of this solicitation herein.
