This is a Sources Sought Notice / RFI only. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice / RFI is to gain information about potential qualified sources and their size classification relative to NAICS code is 334519 - Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, with an SBA small business size standard of 600 employees. Responses to this Sources Sought Notice / RFI will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. After review of the responses to this Sources Sought Notice / RFI, further RFIs and/or a solicitation or other announcements may be published. The purpose of this procurement is to acquire and install a fully automated, weight-based inventory management system, brand name or equal to PAR Excellence, for the VA Phoenix Healthcare System. The system is intended to provide accurate, real-time perpetual inventory visibility while minimizing end-user data entry and supporting timely replenishment of medical and surgical supplies. The anticipated requirement includes all equipment, scales, controllers, storage products, mounting hardware and accessories, software licenses, interfaces, implementation services, installation, configuration, testing, training, warranty, monitoring, maintenance, and technical support necessary to deliver a fully operational system at the facility's designated primary and secondary supply locations. For market-research and planning purposes, the anticipated configuration is approximately 26 PAR Bins Replenish software licenses, 3,571 scales of various types and capacities, 27 Ethernet replenishment controllers, related hardware accessories, storage bins, shelving, cabinets, mobile louvered panel units, and associated implementation and training services. Final quantities and configurations are subject to change. At a minimum, the proposed solution must provide an HL7 interface that communicates with the VA Generic Inventory Package (GIP) in VistA and must have an approved VA Information Technology Authority to Operate (ATO) at the time of offer. Contractors must be able to validate interoperability with VA GIP through the HL7 interface prior to award. The system must support unlimited users and multiple permission levels; provide access from multiple points on VA-furnished computers; produce Excel or text-delimited reports; display equipment and materials-management status; provide item-location, PAR-level analysis, consumption data, order, reconciliation, due-in/due-out, discrepancy, and inventory-value reporting; and generate pick-ticket information based on PAR levels, reorder points, and emergency stock levels. The system must be compatible with existing shelving, cabinets, carts, and other storage infrastructure; accommodate medical and surgical products of varying size, thickness, and weight, including products up to approximately 3 feet long by 2 feet wide and 20 pounds; and permit VA employees to recalibrate the system for different package quantities. The contractor must install and configure the required software on VA-furnished equipment, provide staff training, furnish a one-year license agreement with software upgrades, and provide 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year support. Support must include at least four remote equipment-functionality checks every 24 hours, response to service calls within 24 hours, and repair or replacement of covered equipment or hardware within 48 hours when damage or defect is not attributable to VA personnel. Installation is anticipated to begin no later than 70 days after contract award and be completed no later than 400 days after award, subject to facility deployment planning and required facility tasks. Deliverables will be shipped to VA Phoenix Healthcare System, Main Warehouse (ATTN: Prentiss Logan), 650 E Indian School Road, Phoenix, AZ 85012, with notice to the Contracting Officer's Representative five business days before shipment. The current independent planning estimate derived from the attached vendor quotation is $1,502,945.49, inclusive of turnkey installation. This amount is provided solely to describe the anticipated magnitude of the requirement for market-research purposes and does not constitute a Government estimate, commitment, or solicitation price. STATEMENT OF WORK 1. Background VA Phoenix Healthcare System has used cabinet-based Point of Use (POU) systems to manage inventory levels within our facility s supply areas. Our facility s current supply system process relies heavily on clinical staff entering quantities as they pull product. When they fail to enter, or enter incorrect quantities, our process fails. This leads to workload issues, as Supply Techs must be pulled from current duties to perform urgent resupply requests to affected areas. This also presents potential patient safety issues during emergency situations if stock is not available due to inaccurate stock level information. Further, the current supply process is labor and time intensive. This is compounded in times of heavy workload due to availability of supply personnel and/or hospital patient load, increasing risks associated with patient care / safety
