    This document outlines a Brand-Name Justification by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the acquisition of a STERIS InnoWave Unity Sonic Irrigator as part of a simplified acquisition procedure under the micro-purchase threshold, not exceeding $250,000. The justification highlights the need for upgrading the existing outdated InnoWave Ultra at the Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center, which is integral to the centralized sterilization and servicing processes utilized throughout the Boston Healthcare System. The sole source for this upgraded equipment is STERIS, given its proprietary nature and the existing compatibility with the current Steris washer system requiring no additional infrastructure costs.

This action supports effective operations in medical equipment sterilization while maintaining cost-efficiency in servicing and operations within the VA health system.
    The document outlines a Statement of Objectives for the installation of Steris sonic irrigators across the VA Boston Healthcare System's three campuses, specifically focused on standardizing equipment to improve operational efficiency and staff compliance. The contractor is tasked with providing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for the installation, including the provision of FDA-approved equipment and comprehensive training for staff. Key responsibilities include ensuring safe installation practices, adhering to infection control measures, and coordinating installation schedules with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The contractor is also required to manage the removal of old equipment, comply with security and safety protocols, and fulfill a one-year warranty on equipment. Additionally, the document specifies compliance with OSHA standards and proper records management concerning the deliverables and data produced. Ultimately, the goals are to enhance service quality and operational coherence across the campuses while meeting federal standards.
