65--Notice of Intent to Award Gastric Sleeve & Spider Lap Products for scheduled surgery.

The MEDCOM Western Regional Contracting Office in Tacoma, Washington, plans to award a one-time fixed-price contract valued at $57,850 to Transentrix for the procurement of Gastric Sleeve and Spider Lap products. These products are intended for use in an upcoming surgery, selected by the surgeon to meet the precise medical needs of the patient. All items must be FDA approved and fulfill the specific requirements outlined by both the surgeon and the patient. The acquisition will be conducted under FAR Part 6.302-1, which allows for a sole-source procurement based on the unique medical necessity. Although this notice signals the government's intent to award the contract without competition, it invites interested parties to express interest and demonstrate their product capabilities for potential consideration in future procurements. Communication regarding interest or capability should be directed in writing only to the designated purchasing agent, Ms. Amparo Hall, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. The procurement follows Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. This approach ensures timely acquisition of essential medical products while maintaining adherence to regulatory and procedural guidelines.
