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

The U.S. Army Medical Command's Western Regional Contracting Office in Tacoma, Washington, plans to award a sole source contract valued at approximately $50,000 to Ellipse Technologies, Inc. for the procurement of various surgical spinal implant products. These implants will be utilized in patient-specific surgeries conducted by the Department of Anesthesia and Operative Service at Madigan Army Medical Center, Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The selection of the implant products will be determined by the surgeon prior to surgery to ensure the best fit for individual patient medical needs, and all products must be FDA-approved. This action is being executed under simplified acquisition procedures as outlined in FAR Part 13 and specifically references FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1). The notice clarifies that it is not a request for proposals and no solicitation will be issued; however, other firms capable of supplying these products may submit supporting documentation on their product capabilities and specifications for consideration in future procurements. Interested parties are directed to submit such information via email only to the designated Purchasing Agent, with telephone or fax submissions not being accepted.
