AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17, plans to enter into a consignment agreement with Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, located in Wayne, New Jersey, for the supply of various sizes of HEMASHIELD and EXXCEL Vascular Grafts. These surgical supplies are intended for use at the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System in Temple, Texas. The contract falls under NAICS code 339113 and is justified under the authority allowing for non-competitive procurement due to the unique and highly specialized nature of the products, which only Maquet Cardiovascular is capable of providing at the required quality level. The agreement is meant to streamline the ongoing supply needs for vascular grafts in surgical operations, with a performance period of 48 months starting from the award date. This notice is not a solicitation for quotes or offers but rather a notification of the intent to award a sole-source contract. Interested vendors capable of meeting the requirements may submit written notification by email by a specified deadline, though the final decision on whether to proceed competitively lies solely with the Contracting Officer. Any response must provide compelling evidence that opening the procurement to competition would benefit the government. The administrative handling of the contract is through the VA Network Contracting Office 17 based in San Antonio, Texas.
