The Statement of Work (SOW) and Technical Specifications defines the effort required for the purchase and delivery of the requirement to the PHOENIX VA. 1.0 Scope of Work (Purpose) The purpose of this performance work statement is to procure an {Ophthalmologic Microscope LuxOR LX3 Q-VUE} for Surgical Service Department in the Phoenix VA Medical Center. We are beginning an operative ophthalmology program at the Phoenix VA. In order to accomplish this, we will need to invest in the equipment to perform the surgical procedures for the veteran population. Most of the use of this microscope will be for cataract and retinal surgical procedures. Therefore, it is imperative that the specifications of this operating ophthalmic microscope are met so we can do both of these surgeries. If we purchase a microscope that cannot be used for both surgical procedures, then we will need to purchase a second microscope which will double our cost and double our operating room footprint. The intended use for the operating eye microscope is to be able to perform cataract and other anterior and posterior chamber ophthalmologic surgical procedures including retinal surgery. The contractor shall provide the equipment in accordance with this description of specification and other requirements of this request. 2.0 Specifications & Equipment Description: Vendor must provide a dual operator headpiece so that 2 surgeons can operate at the same time.
