VHAWNYHS Buffalo Urology Surgical Service requires a brand name procurement of the BK Specto Ultrasound Unit and Probes for Urologic procedures. For background knowledge, Urology had an end-of-life BK ultrasound machine that became obsolete in 2012. In 2014 the facility purchased a BK ultrasound machine, the BK Flex-focus, to be use in the procedure room and operating room to do prostate biopsies. These ultrasound machines use probes with a disposable plastic/metal needle guide. The prior ultrasound machine had 5 probes (8808) that still integrated with the Flex-focus in addition to the one additional 2014-new probe (8808e) that was purchased and disposables.

On September 16, 2024, a GE sales rep, contacted the surgery team to state that BK (acquired by GE), discontinued production of the disposable biopsy guide (UA-1257S17E) which fits onto the current 8808 probes. Without this product, the probes cannot be used for procedures. Leaving the department with only 1 remaining probe 8808e, which was purchased in 2014 with the Flex-focus, to be used for prostate biopsies.

This is NOT a request for quotes. however, any responsible firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification and capability statements prior to the response due date and time. Vendors shall indicate if they are the direct supplier of the items.
Responses are due by Monday, 9/30/2024 at 4:00 PM.(ET). No submissions will be accepted after this date and time. Responses shall be submitted via email to Barry.Sawyer@va.gov.
