65--BASIC NET TRAINER AND SLING

The Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Guldmann for the supply of Basic High Net and Active Trainers in various sizes. This action is being taken under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the belief that only this single business can fulfill the agency's requirements, including access to proprietary information. Although the government plans to negotiate exclusively with Guldmann, interested parties are invited to express their interest and demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement by June 11, 2012, at 5 PM EST. The information provided by potential competitors will be used solely to decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement. No solicitation documents are currently available for this procurement, and all inquiries must be submitted via email to the designated contact person, Rachelle Hamer. Responses must be provided at no cost or obligation to the government, and the final decision regarding whether to open the procurement to competitive bids rests entirely with the government. The contract is related to the acquisition of equipment categorized under NAICS code 423450, and the solicitation is registered under the number VA25012Q0433.
