Requirement Description: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Intensive Care Ventilators product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) single Requirements contract award. Intensive Care Ventilators are mechanical devices that can be configured to provide invasive ventilation (e.g., with an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube) or noninvasive ventilation (e.g., with a face mask). These ventilators are life support devices that move gas (e.g., air and/or oxygen) to and from a patient's lungs. These devices may provide temporary or permanent respiration for patients who cannot breathe on their own, or who require assistance maintaining adequate ventilation because of illness, trauma, congenital defects, or the effects of drugs (e.g., anesthetics). In most cases, these ventilators are used for a short period of time (a few days to a few weeks) to deliver pressurized medical gases to the patient's lungs to support gas exchange and rest ventilatory muscles until the patient is able to breathe without mechanical assistance.
