65--NOTICE OF INTENT

The Western Regional Contracting Office of MEDCOM in Tacoma, Washington, plans to award a fixed-price contract totaling $34,352.00 to Globus Medical for the purchase of a fixation screw and plate system. This procurement is based on FAR Part 6.302-1, allowing for non-competitive acquisition due to the surgeon's determination that these specific FDA-approved products best meet the unique medical needs of the patient. The contract emphasizes that all products supplied must comply with FDA approval and the specific requirements identified by the surgeon and patient. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, interested parties may express their interest and capability to fulfill similar requirements in the future. The government will consider information received within 45 days from the notice's publication to evaluate whether to pursue competitive procurement later. Ultimately, the decision to forego competition rests solely with the government, and any information submitted will primarily serve to assess future procurement possibilities.
