65--Notice of Intent

The U.S. Army Medical Command's Western Regional Contracting Office in Lacey, Washington, plans to award a sole source contract to Med-El Corporation valued at approximately $47,100. This contract is intended for the purchase of FDA-approved ear implants and related supplies to be utilized in patient-specific surgeries at Madigan Army Medical Center. The procurement will follow Simplified Acquisition Procedures outlined in FAR Part 13 and no formal solicitation will be issued as this is a notice of intent rather than a request for proposals. Although Med-El Corporation is the designated sole source provider, other firms interested in supplying similar products can submit supporting documentation demonstrating their capabilities and product specifications. These submissions will be considered for potential future contracts. All communications must be directed via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, Ruby Mejias, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. The procurement aligns with regulatory requirements under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) and relates to NAICS code 339113, covering surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing.
