Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking to procure updated vascular surgical instrumentation to support the Vascular Surgery and Sterile Processing Services (SPS) departments at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. The requested supplies consist of specialized Scanlan micro-surgical vascular instruments utilized during precision vascular surgical procedures. The instruments are essential to maintaining adequate surgical inventory, supporting increased procedural volume, and ensuring continuity of patient care. The VA intends to negotiate a sole source order with Scanlan International, as they believe only this source possesses the required capabilities to meet this requirement.
Some key points about this opportunity include:
• The VA requires specialized Scanlan micro-surgical vascular instruments, including micro needle holders, micro forceps, and specialized vascular scissors.
• The instruments must contain proprietary features, such as DIAMOND DUST jaws/tips, Never Shear Dual Guide technology, and specialized Scan-II handles.
• The VA currently utilizes Scanlan vascular instrumentation within its existing surgical tray inventory and sterile processing workflows.
• The facility requires additional instruments to maintain standardized surgical operations and support ongoing clinical needs.
• The intended vendor is Scanlan International, and a firm-fixed-price purchase order is anticipated.
