Statement of Work Contract Title: Portable Sleep Studies via WatchPATONE Direct with WatchPATONE Direct Services or equal to. Background: The VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS) is seeking a 1 Year contract with 4 1-year option periods. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the VA Prioritization for Expanding Outpatient Consultations, Procedures, and Appointments recommend use of completely disposable home sleep testing. VAPORHCS does not currently own any completely disposable devices. VAPORHCS anticipates continued and increased emphasis for home sleep testing as we transition clinical programs involving greater use of alternatives to face-to-face medicine. The pertinent excerpt of the referenced communication is below: Non-urgent pulmonary/sleep procedures should be deferred to minimize unnecessary risk to patients. These include, but are not limited to pulmonary function testing, 6-minute walk tests, methacholine challenge testing, surveillance bronchoscopy, in-person pulmonary rehabilitation, lung cancer screening, and polysomnography. Providers should consider empiric treatments and alternative diagnostic modalities that do not require in-person visits (e.g. home sleep apnea testing) while these procedures are deferred. To assist as we shift to alternatives to face-to-face clinical care, the contractor shall provide the VAPORHCS as ordered, direct to home disposable sleep studies to our Veteran population through a mail order service known as WatchPAT Direct. The contractor shall prepare a WatchPATOne kit per the instructions of the sleep provider and then ship it to the patient. The contractor shall provide phone service to support the Veteran in the use of the WatchPAT kit on the scheduled test day in order to review test instructions. After the patient completes the test in their own home, the data from the device is uploaded to a VA approved cloud -based platform for interpretation by VA providers. The device is completely disposable, does not require PPE, and does not incur risk to Veterans or VA staff. Amounts are provided for estimates only and are not guaranteed, quantities will be listed on funded task orders as needed.
