Description
Acquisition Description:
This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Evoqua Water Technologies LLC.
Water filtration, maintenance and testing of water and steam used for sterile processing is necessary for sterilizer equipment and washers located in the NIH-s Central Hospital Supply (CHS), rooms B1C267, B1N287 and B1C279 (full details on supported equipment in Attachment A). Local water supply contains an abundance of mineral deposits and sediment such as Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium, which if left unfiltered can leave trace amounts on instruments being washed. Service deionization has proven to be an excellent filtration system in order to eliminate mineral deposits as well as chlorine, chloramines and dissolved organic contaminants.
The NIH has been using water filtration equipment from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC for several years. Previous water filtration contract from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC includes: PO # 75N90023P00081.
Justification:
Evoqua Water Technologies has provided RODI water for the purposes of Sterile Processing to the Sterile Processing Service for several years. Sterile processing service is a critical part of medical care and any service disruption, as would be necessary if another vendor were to provide these services, would be detrimental to continuing to provide patient care. That is not to mention the additional expense that would be needed to continue to provide services during any transition.
Due to the nature of the equipment that is supported with RODI water from Evoqua Water Technologies, any level of delay to providing this service would be catastrophic to hospital operations. A change in the vendor to provide the same or similar services would take an unacceptable amount of time to complete as all new infrastructure, plumbing lines...
