Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. The NAICS code is 339112 DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT: The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) is looking for eligible businesses that are capable of providing a Cardiac Mapping System that meet detailed Salient Characteristics (see attached). POTENTIAL SOURCES SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN THEIR RESPONSE: 1) Company name, address, phone number, primary contact(s), e-mail address, NAICS code(s), business size (i.e., small/large) and DUNS Number. 2) Provide a Statement of Capability that demonstrates the offeror's past performance in providing this type of service. Please include the following: (a) staff expertise including their availability, experience, and formal and other training; (b) current in-house capability and capacity to perform the work; (c) prior completed projects of similar nature; (d) corporate experience and management capability; and (e) examples of prior completed Government contracts, references, and other related information. 3) Submit Capability Statements by 17 August, 2020 to Bruce Jackson at Bruce.Jackson5@va.gov. Responses should be received no later than 1:00 PM EDT. NO CAPABILITY STATEMENTS MAY BE ACCEPTED AFTER 17 AUGUST, 2020. AT THIS TIME 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. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed to allow the Government to determine the organization's qualifications to perform the work. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. After a review of the responses received, a pre-solicitation synopsis and solicitation may be published in Federal Business Opportunities. However, responses to this notice will not be considered adequate responses to a solicitation. (5) No Proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in any resultant solicitation(s.) Salient Characteristics for the EnSite Precision Mapping System. Advanced electrophysiology mapping system creates non-fluoroscopic 3D images of the heart chamber(s) through the use of either EnSite NavX Visualization and Navigation Technology or the non-contact EnSite Array catheter. System provides diagnostic tools which represent the anatomy of the cardiac chamber and electro-anatomical information (e.g. activation maps, voltage maps, CFAE maps, fractionation maps) as well as tracks the real-time location of electrophysiology catheters within the cardiac structure. System also assists in recording the location of ablation lesions as applied by an ablation generator. VA Pittsburgh Electrophysiology Lab Requirements. Display Workstation with 32 GB RAM, 3.4 GHz dual six-core processors, and Quadro K2200 Graphics running most current version of operating system software. EnSite Amplifier Subsystem, magnetic unit, field frame, mapping software for 3D electroanatomical map creation and additional modules (listed below), RF generator, RF generator remote control, fiber optic light unit for contact force catheter, irrigation pump, fiber optic cables, serial cables, DVI cables, CAT5 cables, power supply units, color inkjet printer, physician and staff training. EnSite Precision Module - hardware EnSite PrecisionTM Link, Sensor EnabledTM EnSite PrecisionTM Field Frame EnSite Precision Module -software EnSite Verismo Creates 3D cardiac chamber models from CT/MR datasets for display on the EnSite Velocity System. EnSite Fusion The EnSite Fusion Registration Module with Dynamic Registration will incorporate a real time model with a segmented CT or MR model to facilitate navigation within the segmented geometry. EnSite Derexi The EnSite Derexi Module consists of software features that uniquely integrate the EP-WorkMate Recording System with the EnSite Precision System. These features consolidate patient and clinical information and reduce the duplicate steps in the workflow. EnSite Courier Imports CT/MR/3D Rotational Angiography cardiac datasets from the PACS server to the EnSite Precision System. Exports segmented 3D models back to the PACS server. Facilitates backup of EnSite Velocity System data to the PACS server. Allows review of case data from an EnSite Velocity System or a remote workstation. EnSite AutoMap The software module allows user to create high density maps with any catheter. Collect data with no point limit. Automatic deletion of points outside user-specific criteria. Automated point inclusion and exclusion criteria include: score threshold for morphology match, cycle length tolerance, catheter speed limit, distance threshold, signal to noise threshold, force. EnSite AutoMark The software module allows for automated lesion marker guidance based on user-defined criteria. Size and color lesion markers based on multiple criteria. Assess ablation catheter stability and AutoMark placement with the AutoTrack feature for automatic recording of precise tip location during RF energy application. System contains Instructions For Use (IFU).
