Description
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Brand Name or Equal commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued.
This solicitation is a request for quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2019-05.
This is a 100% total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 339113, with a small business size standard of 750 employees.
The Beckley VA Medical Center in Beckley, WV, SPS department has been affected by poor hospital steam quality and purity for the sterilization process. Poor quality steam has led to scaled and stained chambers, stained wraps and instruments, increased instrument repair costs, equipment downtime and poor equipment performance. To mitigate these issues the VAMC will be converting to self-generating steam sterilizers that are constructed of all stainless steel piping and stainless steel boiler vessel. Beckley, WV has relatively hard water and the boiler feed water should be properly treated. The integral steam generators make-up water will be from a Reverse Osmosis water system already on site.
All interested companies shall provide a quotation for the following:
