CPV classification: 33112000: Echo and ultrasound equipment

Technical requirements: Statsbygg has started preparing the procurement of various ultrasound units for the development of Campus Ås.
We would like to hold a demonstration day before the competition notice is published. The aim of the demonstration day is to prepare the market for the coming procurement as well as give Statsbygg more information on the units and systems that the market can offer.
Campus Ås is a joint location project for The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and the Norwegian Veterinary Institute. The gross area of the new building is 63100 m2, of which 48300 m2 is reserved for NMBU and the remaining areas are reserved the Norwegian Veterinary Institute. The building shall be situated in Ås municipality and is to be completed during summer 2020. The imminent procurement is for.
The demonstration day will be held on 25.1.18 at the Veterinary Institute, Adamstuen in Oslo. A more exact time and place will be given after the registration deadline expires.
Below is a description of the intended function areas for the different units that will be of relevance on the demonstration day.
High-end heart ultrasound machine. Shall be used to examine heart appearance and function, primarily in dogs, cats and horses. Cats and dogs vary, mainly from 1 to 70 kg, most cats are between 3-5 kg and most hunds are between 5-45 kg. Horses require an examination area depth of up to 35 cm, it is important to have probes that enable examinations of these different species. All normal function parameters and evaluation methods/templates are relevant.
High end diagnostic machine. Patients from 1 to 70 kg, main group between 5-45 kg. We would like high picture quality and good functionality, as well as good ergonomics. Probes from 12/15 and down to 5 MHz.
Good muscle and skeleton machine, primarily for horses — tendons and ligaments. Linear probe with 12(15) to 8 Mz. We scan a lot of the lower part of horse legs, from has, carpus and below - it is important to have good ergonomics - that the machine can be adjusted downwards in height.
We would like to have units that can be disconnected from their stand to make it easier to carry them through sluices etc. The units ought to have at least two probe entrances and they must be able to be configured with a rectal probe. We would like to have curve linear and linear probes demonstrated with frequency spectrums between 12(15) and 5(3) MHz. Possibly with an option for simple heart ultrasound with a low frequency probe.
Rectal examinations of horses and cows (possibly other production animals if their size allows it) - ovaries and uterus, as well as soft tissue and bone tissue in the pelvis area.
Transcutaneous examination of horses for assessing the spleen, lever, ventricle wall, intestine wall, kidneys and peritoneum, 7-5 MHz probes are relevant.
Dogs and cats — for emergency medical assessment/fast examinations of the abdomen and thorax for evaluation of free fluids, uterus, heart sack, for sample taking of free fluids and sample taking of tumours.
Shall only be used with rectal probes, in barns, on various farms, transported and stored in vehicles.
Primarily used to scan abdomens in dogs (linear 12-8) and curve linear probe (7-5), possibly also thorax (sector 10-5), as well as tendons in horses (linear 12-8). A robust design, mobile function and simple user interface are important. We will assess simple units as in the above category, but are unsure as to whether these are robust enough.
