Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify qualified sources with the capability and resources to meet the Veterans Health Administration's Non-Expendable Equipment National Program requirement for Vitreoretinal Cataract Systems. The system should be an integrated platform capable of performing both cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries, with optional laser photocoagulation, in a single console. The system should have the following features:
* Integrated real-time pressure and flow control across both cataract and vitreoretinal modes
* High-speed dual-blade vitrectomy probe capable of ≥30,000 cuts/minute
* Advanced phacoemulsification modality that reduces ultrasound energy delivered into the eye
* Multi-spot illuminated endolaser capability
* Integrated gas delivery system providing precise gas-to-air mixture ratios for tamponade agents
* System-wide illumination and safety controls, including customizable light profiles and automated safety features.
The anticipated period of performance is for one 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods.
