65--Notice of Intent for Sole Source Award for Hemorrhoid Sterile Kits

The Western Regional Contracting Office (WRCO) of MEDCOM in Tacoma, WA plans to issue a firm fixed price order valued at approximately $26,810 to THD America, Inc. for the purchase of Hemorrhoid Sterile Kits. These kits are proprietary items that include FDA-approved hardware and software compatible with the government-owned Transanal Hemorrhoidal Device currently utilized at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Ft Bliss, TX. The procurement will be conducted as a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 6.302-1, meaning the government intends to negotiate exclusively with THD America, Inc. due to their proprietary rights on the products. This action is not a solicitation or request for proposals; however, other firms that believe they have equivalent products are invited to submit supporting documentation for consideration in future acquisitions. All communications must be sent via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, Ms. Kendre Green, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. The procurement process will follow Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 and is associated with the NAICS code 423450. The notice serves as an intent announcement for the sole source award and emphasizes that no formal solicitation will be issued.
