What the notice says
2 THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY� � This is a Sources Sought Notice issued solely for market research purposes to determine the availability and capability of Small Businesses, including SDVOSB and VOSB concerns, under NAICS 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking qualified vendors who can provide SomnoFlo LowFlo Electronic Vaporizer or equal items. The system shall directly connects to the animal via the induction chamber and nose cone for both induction and animal surgery, eliminating the need to purchase an additional, standal… (show all)
one vaporizer set up, and calculates the individual required anesthesia for each animal based on the animal s weight, ensuring the animal is receiving the proper amount of anesthetic throughout the course of the procedure and greatly reducing chance of over or under anesthetizing the animal. � Vendor shall state their ability to provide equipment based off this statement of work. STATEMENT OF WORK Contract Title: SomnoFlo Electronic Vaporizer Systems or Equal Station: VA New Jersey Health Care System (VANJHCS) (STA 561) Service Line: Research & Development Service Background: VANJHCS was awarded funds for two survival surgery stations and two non-survival surgery stations by the Lab Animal Major Equipment (LAM) program, which is sponsored by VHA s Office of Research and Development (ORD). Our current survival surgery station was constructed in-house 20+ years ago and has become a subject of concern identified by safety inspections. It was not designed for the use of isoflurane during prolonged surgeries, and with our transition away from narcotics to isoflurane, the associated infrastructure needs to change as well for the safety of the staff in the Veterinary Medical Unit (VMU). The creation of four separate surgery stations requires each to have a dedicated vaporizer system to deliver the anesthetic gas (isoflurane). Currently, there is an 8-year-old system that is moved around to accommodate the need for survival and non-survival surgeries within the VMU building. This has added to the wear-and-tear on the tubing and the connectors. Therefore, we are requesting to purchase a singular dedicated system for each surgical station. This should elongate the life of the connectors and tubing and remove a level of complexity and safety that is involved when moving around compressed gases.
