J065--GE Healthcare Anesthesia Equip PM SVCS -New Requirement

A five-year contract with one base year and four one-year option periods has been established for preventative maintenance and repair services on GE anesthesia equipment at the New Mexico Veterans Affairs Healthcare System. The contract, solicited under number 36C26226Q0309 and set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, requires the contractor to perform semi-annual and annual preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and technical training on specific GE models including the Avance CS2, Carestation 600/650, and E-SCAIO-00 Respiratory Modules. All repairs must use original equipment manufacturer parts, and service technicians must hold current OEM certifications. Emergency responses are mandated within four hours, and field service reports must be submitted to ensure compliance and equipment functionality, with workmanship and parts guaranteed for 90 days. The contract is evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with price as the sole determining factor among technically compliant offers, while past performance and technical capability serve only as risk assessment criteria. The contractor must have at least three years of documented experience with GE anesthesia equipment to qualify. Performance is centered at VA facilities in Tucson, Arizona, with services delivered across the New Mexico VA system, and all payment requests must be submitted electronically via the Tungsten Network. Contract administration is handled by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Network Contracting Office 22 in Gilbert, Arizona, with Daniel Kneizeh serving as the sole Contracting Officer with full authority. Subcontracting is strictly limited to 50% of total contract value for non-certified SDVOSBs, and compliance with federal wage, sick leave, and supply chain security regulations is required. The contract includes clauses for extended service terms, electronic invoicing, security prohibitions, whistleblower rights, and prohibitions against counterfeit or gray market items, with no additional packaging, preservation, or bar-coding specifications provided. All funding and accounting data remain internal to the VA, and final pricing for option years will be determined through contract modification.
