6515--VISN 8 Situate Detection System
The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Request for Information to identify qualified sources capable of providing an integrated retained surgical item detection system, specifically the Medtronic Situate System or equal, for use across twelve VISN 8 medical centers. The system must include automated RF scanning beneath the patient, a handheld environmental scanner, workflow guidance, scan verification, and manufacturer-supported maintenance and training services. Services required include timely delivery, comprehensive user and biomedical staff training, on-site clinical support, preventive maintenance, parts, and a full warranty. The government anticipates a firm-fixed-price contract, and interested parties must indicate whether they are a manufacturer, authorized dealer/distributor, or reseller. Performance will occur at the twelve VISN 8 medical centers, and no budget amount is specified.
