This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested. Solicitation Number VA-250-07-RQ-0159 is being issued as Request for Quotes (RFQ) and the intent is to award a fixed firm contract for supplies. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-18. This requirement is a 100% service disabled veteran owned small business set aside for commercial items under the North Atlantic Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Vicon MX System; Size Standard 500 employees. DESCRIPTION: The Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), 10701 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, (hereafter known as the VAMC), is seeking a Vicon MX System that is qualified as a "brand name or equal to" is acceptable. This System will provide state of the art digital motion capture system will insure uninterrupted data collection, facilitate computationally intense data processing and provide for a greater number of collaborative projects within the rich and extensive local research community that concentrates on musculosketal health and motor control. This will be a one-time procurement. REQUIREMENTS: (1) An updated state-of-the-art digital motion capture system is necessary for collecting clinical data without interruption due to equipment failure and essential for enhanced data throughput. The system update will increase the number of quantitative assessments of gait and posture and allow them to be performed in a substantially reduced amount of time, thus significantly improving the quality and efficiency of clinical care for returning OIF/OEF veterans. Modernizing our existing laboratory resources will improve our capabilities to address the needs of OIF/OEF veterans with motor control dysfunction or sensory impairments due to traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI),visual, proprioceptive or vestibular disorders, as well as stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's Disease (PD) and diabetic neuropathies common imaging veterans of previous conflicts. The updated instrumentation will be particularly important to the proper prescription, fit and alignment of upper and lower extremity prosthetic devices, as well as surgical decision making and the quantitative pre- and post-operative assessments of surgical reconstructions following injuries resulting from burns and orthopedic trauma (BOT). In addition to these obvious advantages, a modern motion capture system will provide real-time biofeedback capabilities to extend our current treatment options to include novel interventions that address the priorities of returning veterans from OIF/OEF, especially as they relate to new care lines involving advanced limb prosthetics and orthotic systems. The new real-time capabilities provided by the upgraded equipment will also allow implementation of innovative virtual reality based therapies that may be applicable to individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other high incidence complication resulting from current military service.
