The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this RFI in accordance with FAR 15.201(e). The agency does not intend to award a contract but rather gather information on capability, delivery and other market information pertinent for acquisition planning. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement and identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for the following: Scope of Work The purpose of this contract is to provide contractor technical and professional support to Biomedical Engineering departments at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and outpatient clinics to accomplish corrective and planned maintenance, professional Biomedical Engineering services, and project management work. Contract resources may be required to accomplish routine operational tasks (e.g. maintenance, patient safety recall investigation), as well as unexpected or time-limited tasks (e.g. COVID-19 pandemic support, operational readiness services for OEHRM/Cerner deployment). There are many competing priorities for Biomedical Engineering staff in today s environment, and the contractor support services in this contract will mitigate risks by providing interim Biomedical Engineering services either onsite or remotely while full-time positions are recruited and hired to fill permanent roles in Biomedical Engineering departments, as needed. This contract is planned to be established as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract to support these requirements. Work may be performed at all VA medical facilities and outpatient clinics where Biomedical Engineering currently provides support. When Contractor support services are required by a VA medical facility, a local VISN or facility VA Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will be designated to monitor and provide oversight to the contractors at that facility.
