Fayetteville VA Coastal Health Care System presents a need for an improved inventory system, PAR Excellence Weight Based Inventory System (WBIMS). Historically, Supply Chain Management Service (SCMS) has used cycle counting to monitor inventory levels within each service s supply closets. This resupply process of the supply closets is labor and time intensive. In times of heavy workloads due to low availability of supply personnel and/or hospital patient load, it can potentially decrease the ability to restock supplies in a timely manner. The facilities have realized this system is not efficient as it requires staff to continuously scan the inventories to track changes. The facility leadership researched how similar size facilities were able to gain better inventory tracking systems, reduce stock outages, and reduce cost. A weight-based system will augment SCMS s effectiveness and timeliness to resupply inventory while decreasing the workload of supply personnel and mitigating risks to patients.\n\nThe purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their\nbusiness size classification (HUBZone, 8(a), small, small disadvantaged, small veteran\nowned, or service-disabled veteran owned small business) relative to NAICS 311511\n(Fluid Milk Manufacturing) and the Size Standard of 700 Employees.
