- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs , Tennessee Valley Health Care System, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Microvascular Health Solutions for a GlycoCheck System (research version), lens covers and components to support research studies at the Nashville VA. A non-invasive device, the GlycoCheck , video-records and analyze living capillaries and painlessly measure the health of the glycocalyx. This system contains sublingual videomicroscopy, an intravital microscope equipped with sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging. This automated capture and analysis system is required to determine functional outcomes in thousands of 10 µm microvessel segments. Functional outcomes include markers of microvascular perfusion/density (measured as longitudinal red blood cell [RBC] fraction) and glycocalyx penetrability (measured as perfused barrier region [PBR]). These measurements are critical for understanding vasculopathy related to glycocalyx and vital to support Nashville VA researchers. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement and who is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), authorized dealer, authorized distributor or authorized reseller of all the items listed above, may submit a capability statement to the contracting office to the contracting office no later than Friday, August 20, 2021, 4:00 PM EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Elaine DiBucci at elaine.dibucci@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
