Manometry Probes SPS - Brand Name Only Cincinnati VAMC

Background
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 10, located at 260 E University Avenue, Cincinnati, OH, is seeking a firm-fixed-price contract to procure brand name only Manometry Probes for the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center (CVAMC) Sterile Processing Department.

This procurement supports the CVAMC's mission to provide high-quality healthcare services to veterans. The existing manometry probes are at the end of their lifecycle and require replacement.

Work Details
The contract requires the supply of brand name reusable manometry probes compatible with existing specialized high-resolution manometry (HRM) systems. The specific items to be procured include:
1. Manoscan ESO Z CATH X1 – Mfr. Part #: 3890 - Quantity: 4 Each
2. HRM Catheter Extended Warranty 1 Year – Mfr. Part #: 80372 - Quantity: 4 Each
3. Shipping & Handling Cost - Quantity: 1 Each

The equipment must meet the following salient characteristics:
- Sensor & Catheter Specifications: 36 pressure channels with 12 measurement points per sensor, totaling 432 pressure data points, combined with 18 impedance channels.
- Catheter diameter: 4.2 mm with true circumferential sensors.
- Coverage & Mapping Capabilities: Continuous pressure and impedance capture from pharynx to stomach in a single catheter insertion.
- Diagnostic Enhancements: Combines HRM with impedance measurements for improved evaluation of bolus passage success and esophageal motility disorders.
- Software Functions: Includes tools for analysis and supports HIS/HL7 interoperability.
- Efficiency & Training: Procedures take ≤10 minutes and require minimal specialized training.

Period of Performance
All supplies will be shipped to the CVAMC Warehouse within 30 days after receipt of order (ARO).

Place of Performance
Cincinnati VA Medical Center, 3200 Vine St, Cincinnati, Ohio 45220-2213.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must provide quotations for brand name products only and ensure that all items meet the specified requirements in the Statement of Work. There are no specific manufacturer or reseller authorizations mentioned; however, compliance with applicable standards and regulations is implied.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award 36C25026P0369 awarded to Covidien Sales for manometry probes, including the MODEL RFG3890 Manoscan ESO Z CATH X1 and the 80372 HRM catheter extended warranty. The current requirement is also for brand name only Manoscan ESO Z CATH X1 probes (with compatible HRM catheter warranty/shipping), suggesting the procurement is a continuation of the same catheter/probe line used with existing high-resolution manometry systems at the Cincinnati VAMC. A closely related prior award (36C24825P0499) for the same Manoscan ESO Z CATH X1 further indicates ongoing replacement/support of these specific items.
