STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) Follow-on to Contract and Task Order Number: Not applicable Contract Title. PTeye Parathyroid Detection Equipment (Brand-Name or Equal) Background. The DC VA Medical Center has a need for an FDA-approved parathyroid detection system to aid during surgical cases. Without this technology there is a risk of inadvertent removal of parathyroid gland tissue leading to an increase in the morbidity of the surgery. Currently, during cases the surgeon is dependent on results from the lab to continue surgery. Time waiting for the pathologist to provide frozen section analysis of tissue or for the laboratory to perform intra-operative PTH hormone assays prolong surgery times. Access to this technology reduces risk and operative time localizing parathyroid glands during surgery for hyperparathyroidism (parathyroidectomy). The surgeons at the DCVAMC have trialed and been trained on the requested equipment. Scope of Work. The procurement shall include all parts, materials, labor, software/licenses, resources, and training required to implement and utilize the equipment/system to their fullest capacity. All items must be covered by manufacturer s warranty and procured through a manufacturer-approved distribution channel. Distributers and resellers must be able to document ability to provide items through manufacturer-approved distribution channels upon request.
