Indicate your size clasification with your response. The 375 CONS is seeking a vendor to provide the following products below, brand name or equal in specifications. Please see the General Requirements section below for the requested products/services and descriptions. This Sources Sought is to facilitate the Contracting Officer's review of the market base, for acquisition planning, size determination, and procurement strategy. Please provide contract number if your product is offered under a FSS contract. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS - BRAND NAME OR EQUAL SUBMISSION The 375 CONS is seeking vendors who can provide the following line items, brand name or equal, based on the descriptions below. All brand name or equal responses shall provide information that shows they meet or exceed the required specifications/features. SCOPE OF WORK: The Contractor shall provide two (2): L14000 - SonoSite EDGESonoSite EDGE high-resolution, all-digital, 8.5-pound (3.85 kg) ultrasoundsystem with 12.1in. LED display. The EDGE visualization tool includes the following software technologies: - 2D grayscale - Auto Gain with Tissue Optimization Technology - M-Mode - Clips Storage - Application specific calculation packages The EDGE combines the high performance of cart-based systems with thespeed, flexibility and durability of hand-carried ultrasound. 8 GB of on-board Flash memory will retain enough data for over 40 standard exams (or 2,400 seconds of clips, 1,200 still frames and 40 report pages) even after power is turned off. The system supports USB media playback, and connectivity is accomplished through one of two USB slots on the system, which allow for direct sharing of images (JPEG) and Clips (MPEG4) to a PC or Mac. Additional connectivity is achieved via the EDGE Mini-Dock, to meet yourspecific needs. The system supports a HIPAA compliance tool set for theprotection of sensitive information and PC direct connectivity capability.EDGE's reliability and durability are backed by a five-year standard warranty, which is included in the price of the system. Software upgrades to the main system and transducer databases are accomplished through one of two USB ports on the system. Also includes battery, ultrasound gel, and userguide on a CD. (Printed user guides also available as a purchasable option). Additional features available to add to the Edge system include: SonoMBe, PW Doppler, TDI PW, CW Doppler, DICOM, Worksheets, and a full array of multi-frequency, broadband transducers. Included with the purchase of your SonoSite EDGE, you will receive thesystem battery, ultrasound gel, a user guide CD. P15704 - Color Application Software Package Edge This package provides the following capabilities for the transducers thatsupport these features: - Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI), a capability in which the system transmitsat one frequency and receives at a higher harmonic frequency to reducenoise and clutter and improve resolution. - SonoHD Imaging Technology, technology which significantly reduces speckle noise while enhancing tissue margins, thereby dramatically improving contrast and structural resolution. - Velocity color flow imaging provides the clinician with the color sensitivity to perform color Doppler examinations with all transducers during a clinical procedure. - PW Doppler is available on all transducers. - CW Doppler is a quantitative assessment of blood flow with Duplex imaging for higher flow velocities. P15701 - SonoMBe, EDGE Software that enhances the systems ability to aid needle visualization.
