65--Bone Graft Extender

The US Army Medical Command Southeast Region is seeking to procure a single unit of the VITOSS Bone Graft Extender. The contract is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Orthovita, Inc., located in Malvern, Pennsylvania. This is a direct acquisition rather than a competitive solicitation, though the Government has invited other companies capable of supplying an equivalent product to submit their technical specifications, past performance data, pricing, and delivery timelines. These submissions will be considered for future procurement opportunities rather than for the current award. The requirement is classified under the NAICS code 339113, which pertains to surgical and medical instrument manufacturing. While the contract details such as the place of performance and agency information are not specified, the solicitation number is W91YTV-11-T-0117, and the notice was posted on March 11, 2011. The government’s technical representatives will review alternate product submissions to evaluate their suitability in potential upcoming orders, emphasizing the preference for Orthovita’s VITOSS product for this immediate requirement.
