65--Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center at Fort Gordon, Georgia, has a requirement to procure one HP Fusion Set with Screws for a surgery scheduled on February 10, 2011. This procurement is intended as a sole source purchase order, with Orthohelix Surgical Designs, Inc., a small business, identified as the suggested contractor. The item is a patient-specific invasive device prescribed by the attending physician or surgeon, and the purchase represents a one-time acquisition, not subject to competitive bidding due to its specificity and necessity for the patient's medical requirements. While this is not a formal request for proposal, other companies capable of supplying an equivalent product are encouraged to submit detailed technical specifications, evidence of past performance, pricing, and delivery timelines. This information will be reviewed by Government technical representatives for consideration in future similar requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 339113 and reflects the urgency and specialized nature of the procurement to support patient care at the medical center.
