In order to provide the least variance in quality and cleaning preferences, which is necessary for patient safety, standardization must be implemented. The current scopes and towers used in the operating room are Olympus brand. The operating room staff is currently trained on cleaning and operating the Olympus brand equipment. The purchase of a new brand of scopes would require additional training to staff members in operation and cleaning processes. By using standardized equipment and processes, the goals of VHA Directive 2009-004 and 1761.1 can be more easily accomplished. The addition of a new brand of scopes would require additional Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to be written annually (in accordance with VHA DIRECTIVE 2009-004). It is requested that this contract be awarded to the following contractor, who is an Olympus company: Gyrus ACMI LP 6655 Wedgewood Road STE 160 Maple Grove, MN 55311-3613 The solicitation is expected to be posted to https://www.fbo.gov/ on Tuesday, April 27, 2010.
