SOW/Product Description Department of Veterans Affairs Optometry Lenexa CBOC Location Rebound Tonometer REQUIREMENTS:  Purchase of one (4) Rebound Tonometers and 40 boxes of sterile, single use tips.  Background: The Kansas City Optometry Service (Lenexa CBOC location) requires 4 rebound tonometers and 40 boxes of sterile single use tips because Kansas City is expanding its optometry services to a newly built CBOC location in Lenexa. A rebound tonometer is necessary to meet patient care needs to accurately check eye pressure. The accuracy of the rebound tonometer is crucial to meet the VA Healthcare System s mission in preventing visual impairment and blindness from glaucoma in the veteran population. Since glaucoma is usually associated with high eye pressures, obtaining an accurate measurement is critical to detecting this disease early so treatment can be initiated. Most eye pressure screening tools require the technician to place an eyedrop to numb the surface of the eye and to hold the eyelids open in order to measure the pressure. This causes several issues first, the numbing drop of the eye can burn when instilled creating discomfort for the patient or corneal damage (punctate epithelial erosions) that can cause blurred vision after an eye exam. Second, holding the eyelid open can cause a falsely elevated eye pressure reading if the technician is inadvertently pushing on the eye when holding the eyelid. Using a rebound tonometer eliminates these issues because first, it does not require a numbing drop for the surface of the eye prior to eye pressure measurement, and second, does not require the eyelid to be held open. These benefits have been verified through multiple clinical trials.  Scope of Work:  The Contractor shall provide (4) four rebound tonometers and 40 boxes of sterile, single use tips and is subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. The vendor/contractor shall deliver, install and provide training of the requested equipment with minimal interruption to patient care. The contractor shall Provide full service literature, preferably in electronic format, including as-built drawings and installation data to the Kansas City VA Biomedical Engineering department  Delivery:  The contractor shall deliver, install, and provide training required equipment no later than 60 Calendar days or less from date of award, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer (CO). Commodities shall not be delivered and/or assembled at the Government site on Federal holidays or weekends unless directed by the CO. Delivery shall be made between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, during normal workday business hours. The end items shall be delivered and installed at the following location: Ship To and Mark For:  Primary:  Kristen Moyer (Chief Optometry) Address:  4801 E Linwood Blvd Kansas City MO 64128 Room V2.655 Email:         Kristen.moyer@va.gov Voice:        816-8611-4700x57402  Alternate: Name:    MaryJo Boylan Address:  4801 E Linwood Blvd Kansas City MO 64128 Location: Room V2.673B Email:       maryjo.mowery@va.gov  Special Shipping Instructions:  Prior to shipping, Contractor shall notify Site POCs, by phone followed by email, of all incoming deliveries including line-by-line details for review of requirements. Contractor cannot make any changes to the delivery schedule at the request of Site POC.  Contractors must coordinate deliveries with Site POCs before shipment of rebound tonometers hardware to ensure sites have adequate storage space.  All shipments, either single or multiple container deliveries, will bear the VA Purchase Order number on external shipping labels and associated manifests or packing lists. In the case of multiple container deliveries, a statement readable near the VA PO number will indicate total number of containers for the complete shipment (ex. Package 1 of 2 ), clearly readable on manifests and external shipping labels.  Packing Slips/Labels and Lists shall include the following:  IFCAP PO # ____________ (i.e., 166-E11234) Total number of Containers: Package ___ of ___.
