AI Contract Overview

The Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center intends to enter into a sole source negotiation with Verathon to procure various GlideScope video laryngoscope systems and accessories. The requested items include different models of GlideScope video laryngoscopes, reusable blades, and stylet guides in specified quantities to support the Medical Service's increasing procedural demands. These devices have been in use at the Cleveland VAMC for years to assist anesthesiologists with tracheal intubation, but due to frequent use and sterilization protocols, additional units and replacement parts are necessary as existing equipment becomes unusable over time. The agency plans to justify this sole source procurement under FAR 13.106(b), citing access to proprietary information as the basis for limiting competition. Interested parties with the capability to fulfill this requirement may submit responses by a specified deadline, which the government will consider solely to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. However, the government retains the sole discretion to proceed with the sole source action without a solicitation at this time. All inquiries must be directed via email to the designated contact, and there is no obligation or cost to the government for reviewing capability information from other potential sources.

Other persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 5PM EST. Such capabilities information will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No solicitation is available at this time. All inquiries must be submitted by email to Rachelle Hamer at rachelle.hamer@va.
