The Department of Veterans Affairs, Boise VA Medical Center, plans to procure a Steris Autoclave Unit with AMSCO 600LS Medium Steam Sterilizer on a sole source basis under FAR 6.302-1 due to its unique integrated steam generator, which is not available in competing models. This feature ensures a reliable and independent steam supply, critical for consistent sterilization cycles and minimizing operational downtime unrelated to building infrastructure limitations. The unit’s chamber dimensions are specifically suited to accommodate up to four caging systems simultaneously, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency compared to other available alternatives, and its compatibility with existing caging setups makes it the only viable option for current operations. This notice of intent is not an invitation for competitive bids, but responsible sources may submit capability statements by August 7th, 7 AM EST to Stacy Taylor at Stacy.Taylor@va.gov, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The government retains full discretion to proceed without competition based on responses received. The solicitation number is 36C24E26Q0086, with a NAICS code of 334516, and the procurement is managed by the RPO East office under the Department of Veterans Affairs, with the point of contact listed as Lynn M Portman.

Full Description

Show more
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Boise VA Medical Center, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Steris for the Steris Autoclave Unit with AMSCO 600LS Medium Steam Sterilizer. The STERIS unit possesses the salient characteristic of an integrated steam generator which the others do not. The foremost reason for this recommendation is the autoclave s compatibility with our existing caging systems. The chamber dimensions of the STERIS unit are ideal, allowing us to autoclave up to four cages simultaneously. This significantly improves our workflow efficiency compared to alternative options. The STERIS autoclave comes equipped with its own integrated steam generator, ensuring reliable and sufficient steam supply independent of building infrastructure. This is a critical feature for maintaining consistent sterilization cycles and reducing potential downtime. The STERIS autoclave comes equipped with its own integrated steam generator, ensuring reliable and sufficient steam supply independent of building infrastructure.

This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source who can provide the exact equipment specifications, can provide information no later than August 7th, 7AM, EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Stacy Taylor at Stacy.Taylor@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
