65--Intent to Negotiate for SuperDimension Bronchus System

The Rocky Mountain Network, VISN 19 Contracting Officer, intends to negotiate with SuperDimension for the SuperDimension Bronchus System for use at the Eastern Colorado Health Care System, Denver facility. The SuperDimension is the only FDA approved electromagnetic navigation device for bronchoscopic biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Any company who feels they have an item equal to this must provide descriptive literature demonstrating that their system can provide the following functions: 1) must be electromagnetic, 2) must be FDA approved, 3) must extend the reach of bronchoscopic tools into all regions of the bronchial airways, 4) must facilitate the reduction of radiation-inducing fluoroscopy, 5) must reduce the need for invasive, high-risk alternative procedures. In order to be considered for evaluation, you must have your literature submitted to the Contracting Officer no later than close of business on July 3, 2006. You may e-mail your literature (all literature must be in a format compatible with Windows XP operating system) to [email protected]; or mail your documents to Brenda S. Birks, Contracting Officer, Rocky Mountain Network, VISN 19 Contracting, 4100 E. Mississippi Avenue, Suite 1110, Glendale, CO 80246. Packages received after July 3, 2006 will not be considered for evaluation.
