65--Notice of Intent for Sole Source Award for an Anti-Gravity Treadmill

The Western Regional Contracting Office at Joint Base Lewis-McChord plans to issue a firm fixed price order valued at approximately $38,785 to ALTERG, Inc. for the purchase of the M320 Medical Anti-Gravity Treadmill. ALTERG, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, holds proprietary rights to all maintenance, parts, and repairs associated with this equipment, which will be used in physical therapy at Evans Army Community Hospital, Fort Carson, Colorado. This procurement will be conducted as a sole source under FAR Part 6.302-1, meaning the government intends to solicit and negotiate exclusively with ALTERG. Procurement procedures will follow the Simplified Acquisition Procedures outlined in FAR Part 13. Although this notice is not a solicitation or request for quotes, other firms that believe they can supply comparable products may submit documentation demonstrating their capabilities and specifications for consideration in future acquisitions. Submissions should be sent electronically to the designated Purchasing Agent, and phone or fax inquiries will not be accepted. This approach ensures proper acquisition planning while maintaining adherence to regulatory requirements for sole source justifications.
