65--LTV 1200 MR Conditional Ventilator - CareFusion 203 Portable Magnetic Resonance ICU Ventilator

The Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center issued a Notice of Intent on April 22, 2011, signaling its plan to negotiate a limited source procurement for the LTV 1200 MR Conditional Ventilator, specifically the CareFusion 203/Pulmonetic System, to be used by the Nursing Service Department. The agency has determined that only one supplier can meet its requirements and will negotiate solely with that source under FAR 13.106(b). However, other interested parties with the capability to fulfill this requirement were invited to submit their expressions of interest by April 29, 2011, to assist the government in deciding whether to open the procurement competition. No formal solicitation will be issued, and all information provided during this process is at no cost or obligation to the government. The decision to proceed with or without competition rests entirely with the agency based on the responses received. All inquiries were required to be sent via email to the designated Contract Specialist, Glen E. Johnson, by the specified deadline. The procurement relates to equipment classified under NAICS code 334510 and is intended for performance at the Cleveland VA Medical Center in Ohio.
