The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking potential sources for the provision of sound booths at the Mansfield CBOC in Cleveland, Ohio. This is outlined in a Sources Sought Notice intended for acquiring information and planning rather than accepting bids. The notice specifies a response deadline of July 11, 2024, and invites interested vendors to provide details about their capabilities, including company information, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and any relevant experience. The designated NAICS code for this procurement is 334510, focusing on manufacturing electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, while the Product Service Code is 6515, related to medical equipment. Responses must demonstrate compliance with service-disabled veteran-owned and veteran-owned small business criteria. Interested parties should register with the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for future contract awards. Following the evaluation of responses, a formal solicitation announcement may be released. The document emphasizes the importance of responding with detailed information, as mere indication of interest does not qualify as a source.
The Statement of Work (SOW) delineates the requirements for procuring audiology equipment for the new Mansfield VA Audiology clinic. This includes a custom sound room and accompanying add-ons necessary for conducting hearing tests and fitting hearing aids, provided by E3Diagnostics or equivalent vendors. The contractor is responsible for delivering these items and installation, with specific quantities outlined for each product. Performance will be monitored by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), ensuring compliance with award specifications, while security protocols must be observed due to the involvement of protected health information (PHI). The equipment delivery and installation schedules will be established in coordination with the awarded vendor. No additional follow-on work, conflicts of interest, or special non-disclosure requirements are anticipated. The location of service performance is specified as the Mansfield VA Clinic. This SOW underscores the VA’s commitment to enhancing patient care through upgraded audiology facilities and equipment, aligning with federal grant procedures for medical services.
