Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Phoenix VA Health Care System, is conducting a Sources Sought announcement to identify qualified businesses for Sterilizer Cleaning Services. This market research aims to find potential Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), 8(a), HubZone, and other Small Businesses. Responses are due by March 4, 2026, at 14:00 MST.
Scope of Work
The required services involve the monthly cleaning of Washer-Sterilizer #1 and #2 located in Building 1, Room 1426 at the Phoenix VA Healthcare System. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary parts, travel, and labor. This professional service is crucial for preventing the buildup of debris on surgical trays, ensuring a sterile environment. Key tasks include coordinating services with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), providing one-week advance notice, checking in and out with Sterile Processing Service, and verifying equipment functionality before departure.
Deliverables
Contractors must provide Field Service Reports (FSR) for all service activities. These reports should detail the date(s) and time period of service, a complete description of the equipment serviced (including model and serial numbers), and a comprehensive description of the services performed.
