Description

THIS IS A SMALL BUSINESS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE REPRESENTING A MARKET SURVEY AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, PROPOSAL ABSTRACTS, QUOTATIONS OR INVITATION FOR BIDS. The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a sources sought to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Veteran-Owned, Small Business, HUB Zone 8(a), Women-Owned, or small disadvantaged business concerns; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. Small businesses concerns shall be capable of providing the necessary equipment and personnel to furnish service in the volume required for all the items under this contract. Contractor shall meet all requirements of Federal, State or City codes regarding operations of this type of requirement. The NAICS code is 339112 (Size Standard: 1000 employees) DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT: These are the mainstay coils for most of the CVNR's transcranial magnetic stimulation projects as they are required to perform intake motor thresholding on participants. As these are 65mm coils, they produce a very focal magnetic field and are well-tolerated by participants. Transcranial magnetic stimulation coils have an expiry period of four to five years depending on usage. Our butterfly and cooled coils have had standard use and are at the expiry period. These are a replacement of current coils as a safety measure for the coils and the stimulator. The coils will be used with current VA equipment (MagVenture MagPro X100; EE78224 and MagVenture MagPro R30; EE78264). The intent of this notice is to determine the availability of qualified commercial sources technically capable of providing the required items below: Item No.Part NumberDescription QtyUnit 19016E0423Coil MCF-B65 Butterfly Coil2EA 29016E0482C-B60 Butterfly Coil with power control2EA SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS: We need to continue using the same coils that we have been the past 5 years in order to keep the integrity and continuity of the data collected for research programs. The Butterfly B65 multifunction coil shall have an extremely focal magnetic stimulation output coil that is required for performing motor thresholding in TMS studies. This coil is the mainstay of the Atlanta VA Medical Center's Neuronavigated TMS lab. The coil produces less than 1cm in radius of a 2 Tesla magnetic field, which is necessary for precision stimulation of targeted regions of the brain. Coils have a four to five year lifespan and require replacement for participant and investigator safety. Our current coils are expiring and this purchase will keep the technology current and safe for our continued research. The C-B60 Butterfly coil shall have a built in power control and be compatible with our current MagPro Stimulators (X100). The weight of the transducer head shall not be more than 700 grams and the cable length shall be at least 1.7 meters. The dimensions for this coil are shall be as follows: "Inner diameter 35mm "Outer diameter 75mm "Winding height 11mm "Number of windings 2 x (2 x 5) "Dimensions of transducer head 165 x 85 x 19 mm The MCF-B65 Butterfly Coil needs shall be compatible with our current MagPro Stimulator (R30), have a trigger button, conduct at least 2000 pulses before warmup, and have an active pulse width of 280us. The weight of the transducer head shall not be more than 1.5kg and the cable length shall be at least 2 meters. The dimensions needed for this coil shall be as follows for this requirement: "Inner diameter 35mm "Outer diameter 75mm "Winding height 12mm "Number of windings 2x (2 x 5) "Dimensions of transducer head 174 x 94 x 53 mm *Contractors providing equal products shall provide descriptive literature describing equal characteristics. Potential offerors having the skills, experience, professional qualifications, and capabilities necessary to perform the described requirement are invited to provide a capabilities statement via e-mail. The Capability statements shall not exceed three (3) pages and must include the following: 1) Company name and Point of Contact information (address, telephone, e-mail, web-site, etc.); 2) DUNS number and CAGE code; 3) Small Business Size/Certification (to include 8(a), HUB Zone, SDVOSB, etc.); and (4) Familiarity and product knowledge. Responses are due no later than 7:00 AM EST, Friday, August 19, 2016, and shall be electronically submitted to: gail.bargaineer2@va.gov. All responses will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential future acquisition. Response is strictly voluntary; no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow-up information requests. NO CAPABILITY STATEMENTS MAY BE SUBMITTED AFTER August 19, 2016, AT SEVEN A.M. (EST). NO SOLICITATION EXISTS (DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION). A FUTURE NOTICE WILL BE POSTED WHEN THE SOLICITATION WILL BE RELEASED. 4) Disclaimer and Important Notes: This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response.
