    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking qualified vendors to provide a specialized cardiac output and lung function measurement system for the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of Excellence at the East Orange Campus in New Jersey. The equipment must be capable of simultaneously measuring cardiac output (CO) and functional residual capacity (FRC) during exercise, which is critical for diagnosing exertional breathlessness in Veterans, particularly those affected by obesity and other health complications. This initiative highlights the VA's commitment to addressing complex health issues faced by Veterans exposed to airborne hazards, as existing commercial systems do not adequately measure FRC alongside CO. Interested vendors should contact Contract Specialist Barry Sawyer at Barry.Sawyer@va.gov or call 585-393-8563 for further details regarding the procurement process.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Sources Sought Notice for a specialized cardiac output and lung function measurement system tailored for the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of Excellence. The desired equipment will support research by simultaneously measuring cardiac output (CO) and functional residual capacity (FRC) during exercise, crucial for diagnosing exertional breathlessness in Veterans who may suffer from obesity and other health complications. Existing commercial systems fail to measure FRC accurately alongside CO, necessitating a custom-built solution akin to those employed in leading research facilities like Mayo Clinic. The project outlines specific hardware requirements including a pneumotachometer, two-way non-rebreath valves, and calibration syringes to facilitate precise lung function assessments. The selected vendor will be responsible for delivering the equipment to the VA's East Orange Campus in New Jersey. This initiative underscores the VA's commitment to addressing the complex health issues faced by Veterans exposed to airborne hazards.
