65--OR Instrument Portland, OR Integra

The Portland VA Medical Center is planning to procure specialized ultrasonic microsurgical neuro handpieces from Integra Neurosciences on a sole source basis. The items required include a 24 KHZ Microsurgical Neuro Handpiece, a 24KHZ Short Angled Neuro Handpiece, and a 24KHZ Straight Neuro Handpiece, with an estimated contract value of $98,164. This procurement is categorized as an unusual and compelling urgent requirement under FAR 6.302-2, reflecting the necessity to replace critical surgical equipment promptly to ensure continuous patient care within the department of surgery at the PVAMC. Because of the urgent nature and specific product requirements, the government has decided not to engage in full and open competition for this contract, reserving the discretion to proceed directly with Integra Neurosciences. No formal solicitation will be issued, and responses via oral communication will not be accepted. All inquiries related to this procurement must be directed via email to the designated contact. This effort is aimed at swiftly addressing the operational needs of the medical center through a responsive and expedited acquisition process.
