65--Notice of Intent for Sole Source for Various Surgical Implants Lenses Products

The U.S. Army Medical Command's Western Regional Contracting Office in Tacoma, Washington, plans to issue a sole source contract valued at $150,000 to Staar Surgical Company for the procurement of various surgical implant lenses for Evan Army Community Hospital at Fort Carson, Colorado. The selection of these products will be based on the surgeon's determination that they best meet the specific medical needs of patients. All products procured under this contract must be FDA approved and fulfill the exact medical requirements of both the surgeons and patients. The procurement will follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with a sole source justification under FAR 6.302-1, meaning the government intends to negotiate exclusively with Staar Surgical Company for these supplies. Although this notice is not a request for proposals, the contracting office invites other potential suppliers who believe they can meet the requirements to submit information regarding their products’ capabilities and specifications for consideration in future procurements. Interested parties are advised to submit their materials via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. This process emphasizes ensuring that all offerings meet stringent medical standards and regulatory approvals while streamlining acquisition through simplified procedures to address urgent or specialized medical supply needs.
