58--Sole source Special notice.

The Healthcare Acquisition Activity-North (HCAA) contracting office plans to award a sole source contract to Innovative Medical Systems to procure a HUGS system that is fully compatible with their existing equipment. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), which allows for solicitation from a single source when necessary. The contract aims to secure the special system from Innovative Medical Systems to ensure seamless integration with current HUGS technology. The solicitation, identified by number W91YTZ13T0255, was posted on October 18, 2013, and falls under the NAICS code 334290, which relates to communications equipment manufacturing. While specific details such as the contract type, set-aside status, and location of performance remain unspecified, the action clearly emphasizes the need for compatibility and proprietary procurement, justifying the sole source approach without a competitive bidding process.
