Description: Page 2 of 3 Solicitation Number: VA119-17-Q-0302 Notice Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Synopsis: COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for brand name 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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number VA119-17-Q-0302 is issued for this combined synopsis/solicitation; this solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This combined synopsis/solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-94 and 2005-95, both dated 19 Jan 2017. Requirement Description: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States providing care at 1,233 care facilities, including 168 VA Medical Centers and 1,053 outpatient sites. The HIV, Hepatitis, and Public Related Conditions Programs (HHRC) Program Office within the Office of Specialty Care Services in the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary for Health for Policy and Services (10P) mission is to provide state-of-the-art clinical public health services to VHA providers and patients in the areas of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), viral hepatitis, and related conditions. Hepatic fibrosis is the common result of injury to the liver from a variety of damaging mechanisms, mostly as a result of chronic inflammation. The accurate assessment of the degree of fibrosis is clinically important as the degree of fibrosis is one of the most important factors in disease severity and prognosis. When the liver has been damaged whether by excessive alcohol intake, hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or from some inherited conditions healthy liver tissue begins to be replaced by stiff scar tissue that disrupt the activity of the liver, and ultimately results in a condition known as cirrhosis. Cirrhosis, regardless of etiology, puts patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. Now, after many years of evaluation, the noninvasive technique of Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE) appears to be the approach of choice to determine the degree of fibrosis. Non-Invasive VCTE Equipment works by emitting a shear wave, which may feel as a slight vibration on one s skin, into the liver and measure the speed of transmission, which is a function of degree of fibrosis. The equipment through the VCTE technology, calculates the speed of this shear wave to give healthcare providers an immediate measure of the stiffness of the liver. In addition, Non-Invasive VCTE Equipment with Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) software calculates a surrogate marker that correlates with hepatic steatosis. This technology has been endorsed by various professional societies including the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, the American Gastroenterological Association, and the European Association for the Study of the Liver. Consistent with their mission, the HHRC Program Office has a requirement for FibroScan Ž, Non-Invasive VCTE Equipment manufactured by EchosensTM that allows performance in the outpatient clinic by non-radiologists and non-technologists. The contractor shall provide an uninterrupted source of supply for FibroScan Ž Non-Invasive VCTE equipment throughout the period of performance.
