65--Notice of Intent for Sole Source for the Sonosite Edge Ultrasound System

The U.S. Army Medical Command’s Western Regional Contracting Office in Tacoma, Washington, plans to award a sole source contract to Sonosite Inc. valued at $121,631.01 for the procurement of three Sonosite Edge Ultrasound Systems intended for use at Madigan Healthcare Systems. This purchase is aligned with FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) and will not involve a formal solicitation since the consoles must be compatible with existing government-owned equipment at the facility. Additional parts and maintenance support will be acquired through existing contracts, ensuring the best value for the government. Although this notice is not a request for proposals, the government invites other firms capable of supplying similar equipment to submit documentation demonstrating product capabilities and compliance with specifications for consideration in future acquisitions. Interested parties should direct all inquiries and supporting information exclusively via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, with no telephone or fax communications accepted. This procurement will follow the Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.
