This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number 36C10G21Q0045 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 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems to deliver patient care at its VA Medical Centers around the country. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems are designed to treat open wounds by locally applying negative pressure to the wound site. These systems consist of dressings, an evacuation tube, a collection canister, and a computer-controlled vacuum pump. The dressings usually include a foam (e.g., black polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol) dressing with an evacuation tube embedded in it and a transparent film dressing that is applied over the foam package to seal the foam and the tube. The other end of the tube is connected to a fluid-collection canister, which, in turn, is attached to the vacuum pump. The computer-controlled vacuum pump applies either continuous or intermittent negative pressure through the tube to the foam dressing, drawing off excess of interstitial fluids from the wound. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems decompress the capillaries and lymphatic vessels, thus improving blood flow to the wound and reestablishing normal circulation of interstitial fluids. They are intended to promote healing of wounds (e.g., chronic wounds, burns) that are difficult to heal using conventional treatments.
