(3) The requirements in this clause apply to any contract, order or subcontract where the firm receives a benefit or preference from its designation as an SDVOSB, including set-asides, sole source awards, and evaluation preferences. (c) Representation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(e), only VIP-listed SDVOSBs are considered eligible to receive award of a resulting contract.

For the purpose of limitations on subcontracting, only VIP-listed SDVOSBs (including independent contractors) shall be considered eligible and/or similarly situated (i.e., a firm that has the same small business program status as the prime contractor). An otherwise eligible firm further agrees to the following: (1) Services.

STATEMENT OF WORK Nanosonics Trophon 2 GENERAL: The Sterile Processing Service at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) has a requirement for three (3) Nanosonics Trophon 2 High Level Disinfectors. BACKGROUND: This device is needed for automated reprocessing to be performed on semi-critical probes that are used in Ultrasound, Operating Room, and Specialty Clinics. The Trophon EPR is what Sterile Processing currently uses to reprocess ultrasound probes, but the vendor sent out an end-of-life letter and the EPR s are no longer being supported. TVHS needs to be upgraded to the newer system. SCOPE: This will be an upgrade for TVHS. Sterile Processing currently uses the Trophon EPR, but it has reach end of life and requires an upgrade. Sterile Processing already has all the disposables in inventory needed for the Nanosonics Trophon. Nanosonics Trophon technology helps protect patients by delivering automated and consistent high-level disinfection (HLD) of ultrasound probes with every cycle. The Trophon 2 can process a variety of Ultrasound probes, from endo-cavitary to surface probes used in semi-critical and critical procedures. The Trophon 2 is compatible with over 1000 probes across 24 different manufacturers. The Nanosonics Trophon 2 Uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to generate a sonically activated, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mist that kills bacteria, fungi, viruses and mycobacteria. It accesses all surfaces of the probe, including the body and handle, ensuring all crevices and imperfections are high-level disinfected. As a fully enclosed compact system, the Trophon 2 reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals, fumes and spills often associated with wipes and soaks. The Trophon 2 is the only automated ultrasound probe high-level disinfection (HLD) technology to meet mandatory microbial efficacy requirements for both FDA-clearance and CE-marking. Nanosonics Trophon 2 also meets criteria for bactericidal, mycobacterial, fungicidal and virucidal disinfection efficacy in accordance with AOAC International Official methods and ASTM International Standards and kills against an extensive range of infectious pathogens, including those that cause STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV, hepatitis A, B and C, as well as HPV, Clostridium difficile spores and drug-resistant bacteria (MRSA and VRE). ESTIMATED QUANTATIES: Nanosonics Trophon2, Quantity three (3) SPECIFIC NEED: BRAND NAME ONLY / SALIENT CHARACTERISTIC S Must be compatible with our current Nanosonics disposable supplies and accessories Automated HLD using sonicated disinfectant mist that eliminates multi-drug-resistant bacteria, such as MRSA and VREBlood borne viruses sexually transmitted pathogens, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV, hepatitis A, B and C as well as HPV and C-Diff spores. System needs to provide electronic data that creates a traceable process and printable records to prove the efficacy of the HLD process and mechanical function Printing of full disinfection data for placement on clean probes for tracking and storage Independent Cycle verification with Chemical indicator and expiry tracking for chemicals used in the system Plug and play replacement of current outdated and end of life Nanoionics Trophon EPR X3 Fully enclosed system to reduce risk of exposure to harmful chemicals Enclosed system with an easy close door that has a tight seal Enclosed disinfectant cartridge that is safe to handle with just gloves No special room ventilation required Must have environmentally friendly products for safe and easy disposable Universal cable clamp which makes unit compatible with a wide range cables/probes. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Tennessee Valley HCS, Alvin C. York Campus, 3400 Lebanon Pike Murfreesboro, TN 37129. DELIVERY SCHEDULE: All items to be delivered within 90 days of purchase order processing and order placement. FOB destination pricing. TRAINING: Is included with the purchase of the equipment. Operator training to be presented at both the VA Nashville and the VA Murfreesboro. TRADE-IN: Includes removal of existing equipment, trade-In credit of existing equipment, and installation of purchased equipment. Credit is being provided for the current Trophon EPRs, serial numbers: 88040-068, 88040-048, and 88040-115. WARRANTY OF EQUIPMENT: Contractor must provide manufacturer(s) warranty on all provided supplies. END OF PRESOLICITATION
