65--Notice of Intent to Award for Various Surgical Implant Products

The U.S. Army Medical Command’s Western Regional Contracting Office in Lacey, Washington, plans to issue a sole source contract valued at approximately $65,000 to Covidien LP for various surgical vascular implant products. These implants are intended for use in patient-specific surgeries conducted within the Department of Nursing at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, Fort Bliss, Texas. The selection of the appropriate products for individual patients will be made by the attending surgeon based on medical necessity, and all products provided must have FDA approval. This procurement will follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation's Simplified Acquisition Procedures and will not involve a formal solicitation or request for proposals. Although this notice signals an intent to award a contract solely to Covidien LP under FAR guidelines, other companies that believe they can meet the product requirements are invited to submit product capability and specification documents for consideration in future acquisitions. Responses are to be emailed exclusively to the designated purchasing agent, Ms. Kendre Green, with no telephone or fax communications accepted. The contract is associated with the NAICS code 339113, related to surgical and medical instrument manufacturing.
