- Request for Information (RFI): Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Anesthesia Units National Equipment Catalog The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is conducting a market survey and is seeking information pertaining to anesthesia units for the potential inclusion into the National Equipment Catalog for acquisition at a national level.

This RFI does not pertain to separate analyzers designed to measure concentrations of halogenated anesthetics and gases supplied to the unit or to detect levels present in the operating room nor does it include separate stand-alone physiologic monitoring systems. The purpose of this RFI is to gain market perspective and industry information in the acquisition of anesthesia units for VHA facilities for VA medical centers nation-wide.
