65--Notice of Intent

The U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Western Regional Contracting Office plans to issue a sole source contract valued at approximately $100,000 to Covidien LP for the purchase of FDA-approved vascular catheter implants and related supplies. These items are intended for use in patient-specific surgeries as determined by surgeons at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center. This procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13. No formal solicitation will be issued, and this notice serves as an announcement of the intended sole source award rather than a request for proposals. Although no competitive bidding process will take place, firms interested in providing similar supplies or equipment are invited to submit supporting documentation demonstrating their product capabilities and specifications. Such responses will be considered for future contracting opportunities. All information and inquiries should be directed via email only to the designated Purchasing Agent, Ruby Mejias; telephone or facsimile communications will not be accepted. The procurement aligns with FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) and is associated with NAICS code 339113.
