65--Notice of Intent for Sole Source of Q-Flow System (Patient Queuing System)

The U.S. Army Medical Command's Western Regional Contracting Office in Tacoma, WA, plans to award a sole source firm fixed price contract valued at $39,075 to ACF Technologies for the purchase of two additional Q-Flow units along with necessary software updates. ACF Technologies is recognized as the sole manufacturer of the Q-Flow System, which is critical to maintaining patient care operations. This procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR Part 6.302-1, allowing for a sole source award without competitive solicitation due to the unique mission-essential nature of the equipment. While this notice does not serve as a request for proposal, any firms believing they can supply the required equipment or services are encouraged to submit supporting documentation demonstrating their products’ capabilities and specifications. These submissions will be considered for potential future acquisitions. All communications must be directed in writing to the designated Purchasing Agent, Ms. Denise Miller, and submissions via phone or fax will not be accepted. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334519, and the contracting agency emphasizes the importance of maintaining operational readiness through uninterrupted patient care facilitated by the Q-Flow System.
