Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the VA Boston Healthcare System (BHS), is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified firms capable of providing Draeger-certified technicians for preventive maintenance, repairs, and support for Anesthesia Machines and Anesthesia Vaporizers. This is for facilities in Brockton, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury. Responses are due March 31, 2026.
Scope of Work
The objective is to secure Draeger-certified technicians to perform onsite preventive maintenance (PM), repairs, and support for VA-owned Draeger anesthesia equipment. This includes specific models like APOLLO, FABIUS GS PREM, and FABIUS TIRO. Services must utilize OEM parts/kits and adhere to manufacturer's service manuals. The vendor will provide all necessary labor, personnel, equipment, tools, materials, parts, and supervision. Emergency services require a two-hour callback response and next business day on-site technician. Field Service Agents (FSAs) must be OEM-certified and adhere to VA security, privacy, and federal laws (HIPAA, Privacy Act, COVID-19 screening).
