Scope of Work: Capsule endoscopy will be offered locally to both outpatients and inpatients at WRJ. In addition, through a proposed VISN1 interfacility agreement, WRJ will have the ability to read capsule endoscopy exams online (within the VA firewall) that are physically performed at other VISN1 facilities, who do not have providers trained to interpret these exams. This agreement will allow interfacility cooperation and a reduction in services sent outside the VA. 3. Background: Capsule endoscopy is composed of an ingestible camera that takes the equivalent of a digital video of the small bowel as the capsule traverses the GI tract. These images are transferred to a receiver worn on a belt by the patient for the duration of the exam (typically 8 to 10 hours). The receiver is returned to the medical team at the completion of the study and the images are uploaded to a computer so the video can be viewed. The capsule itself is disposable and passes through the GI tract without need for retrieval. Capsule endoscopy is a frequently used technology (estimated > 30 times a year at WRJ alone) for the evaluation of GI bleeding as well as evaluation for other small bowel diseases. The ability to perform this exam at WRJ will greatly benefit the patients served at WRJ as well as offer significant cost savings relative to the cost of having these exams performed in the community. 4. Performance Period: NA 5. Type of Contract: Open Market 6. Access to sensitive VA information: The video files generated for a capsule endoscopy exam will be uploaded to a VA computer through a docking station and maintained within the VA firewall. The software used to generate a procedure report is VA approved. B. CONTRACT AWARD MEETING NA C. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The vendor will provide as specified. No additional requirements for these units. D. SPECIFIC MANDATORY TASKS AND ASSOCIATED DELIVERABLES: The VA approved capsule endoscopy software, which allows viewing of endoscopic images as well as generation of a procedure report, will be uploaded to a VA owned/maintained computer. The docking station purchased with the system will be attached to the above computer to allow The receiver belt to interface with the computer for image upload. E. EVALUATED OPTIONAL TASKS AND ASSOCIATED DELIVERABLES [If applicable] NA SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERABLES NA CHANGES TO STATEMENT OF WORK NA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS NA I. TRAVEL [If applicable] NA J. GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES [If applicable] NA K. CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS (Standard mandatory language for all task orders) NA L. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE It is agreed that: 1. The preliminary and final deliverables, and all associated working papers, application source code, and other material deemed relevant by VA which have been generated by the contractor in the performance of this task order, are the exclusive property of the U.S. Government and shall be submitted to the CO at the conclusion of the task order. 2.
