AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System (CAVHS), is planning to negotiate a sole source procurement with Medtronic Inc. for the purchase of the Consulta CRT Defibrillator Model D224TRK and associated leads (models 4194-88, 4195-88, and 4196-88). The unique features of this defibrillator, such as Optivol for monitoring fluid status through intrathoracic impedance measurements, lead integrity alert, complete capture management, cardiac compass with 14-month trended data, and dual slope rate, are considered exclusive to Medtronic Inc., leading CAVHS to believe that Medtronic is the only source capable of fulfilling these specific needs. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 423450, related to medical supplies. While this notice signals the intent to proceed with a sole source acquisition, the CAVHS has invited other interested parties believing they can meet the requirements to submit detailed documentation demonstrating their capability by December 2, 2010. Submissions of literature or relevant information must be provided at no cost to the government and can be sent via mail, fax, or email to the designated contact, Dena Young. If no viable alternative sources respond, CAVHS will move forward with negotiating solely with Medtronic Inc. This process aims to ensure due diligence in determining whether a competitive procurement is warranted before finalizing the contract.
