This solicitation RFQ #244-06-01646 is issued as a Request for Quotations. The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-12. This acquisition is a 100% small business set-aside. The NAICS is 453998 with a size standard of $6.5 million. The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) plans to award a firm fixed-price definite quantity purchase order for Disposable Automatic Resuscitators to be stocked for pandemic flu.

Product Requirements (including VAPHS' Evaluation Preferences): 1) Device must be disposable, single patient use. 2) Must connect to a standard endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube. 3) Device will operate solely from compressed medical grade oxygen source and be hands-free in its operation (differentiated from a manual resuscitation system). 4) Device will have a pressure manometer which will display pressure in the ventilator circuit being delivered to the patient. 5) Device will have a control that allows breaths per minute to be adjusted up to 20 BPM. 6) Device will allow up to 5 cm/H2O of PEEP.
