Description

1. Ornge Background

Ornge provides air and land ambulance services under an agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Included in the functions of Ornge are the roles inherent in the procurement, maintenance, dispatch, staffing and operation of a fleet of fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft. The medical teams who provide these services are highly trained paramedics and pilots. Further, Ornge has a small fleet of critical care land ambulances, offering services at specific locations around the province. Ornge has more than 650 employees, including paramedics, pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers, transport medicine physicians, corporate support staff and a team of educators and researchers.

1. Objective

The Ornge Medical Advisory Committee (“MAC”) recently established clinical requirement for a Mechanical CPR Device. The device must deliver CPR compressions accordingly to the AHA guidelines for rate and depth. Ornge requires the Mechanical CPR Device to have the following mandatory functionality:

Ability to perform sternal compression to a depth of at least 2 inches;
Ability to perform compressions at a rate between 100-120/minute;
Ability to configure the rate parameter as required for protocols;
Ability to apply device to a wide range of patient sizes, with no restriction on patient weight;
Health Canada approved for use in pre-hospital setting;
Approvals for use in land and air ambulance (fixed-wing & rotor-wing) settings;
Battery operated with minimum operation time >30 minutes on single charge; and
Does not require the use of compressed gas.

To the best of our knowledge, the LUCAS 3 Chest Compression System is the only Mechanical CPR Device that meet all the requirements set out above. To the best of our knowledge Stryker Canada is the only authorized distributor in Canada of the LUCAS 3 Chest Compression System and it is therefore Ornge’s intention to enter into contract discussions with Stryker Canada.
This is an Advanced Contract Award Notice (ACAN) with the intention to:

notify the vendor community that we believe there is only one source for goods and services described herein;
notify the vendor community that we plan to enter into contract with said source for these goods and services; and
allow for other vendors to submit notice that they also offer such goods and services that meet the requirements.

Respondents compliant to the requirements set forth herein may submit their interest and statement of capabilities, in writing, to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice.
Should any other compliant vendors be identified during the posting period, Ornge will proceed to invite all compliant respondents to participate in a competitive procurement process. If no other compliant vendor submits their interest, on or before the closing date of this notice, the competitive requirements of Ornge are considered to have been met. Following notification to any respondents not successful in demonstrating that they meet the requirements set out in this Notice, the contract may then be awarded to the pre-identified source.
