65--Notice of Intent

The U.S. Army Medical Command's Western Regional Contracting Office in Lacey, Washington, plans to award a sole source contract to OrthoPediatrics Corp. for approximately $150,000. This contract involves the procurement of FDA-approved orthopedic pediatric implants and related supplies intended for patient-specific surgeries at Madigan Army Medical Center. The acquisition will be conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures prescribed in FAR Part 13, with no formal solicitation to be issued as per FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1). Although this is not a request for proposals, other firms interested in supplying these items may submit their product capabilities and specifications for consideration in future acquisitions. The procurement focuses on meeting the specific surgical needs identified by surgeons at Madigan Army Medical Center, emphasizing the specialized nature of the implants and supplies. Communication regarding this acquisition is directed exclusively via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. The effort aligns with NAICS code 339113, covering surgical and medical instrument manufacturing. The notice serves as a notification of intent rather than an open solicitation and aims to streamline the acquisition process by limiting the procurement to a single known source while still allowing potential suppliers to provide relevant documentation for future opportunities.
