65--Prostrate Triplane Transducer

The Great Lakes Acquisition Center is planning to award a sole source contract for the supply of Prostate Triplane Transducer equipment specifically for the William S. Middleton VA Medical Center. The intended awardee is Analogic Corporation, headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts, which has been identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s requirements. This sole source procurement is conducted under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive acquisition when only one responsible source can fulfill the government’s needs. The purchase is aligned with the NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing and involves a size standard of 1,000 employees. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids, nor does it include solicitation documents; telephone inquiries will not be entertained. However, the government will consider any responses or quotes received within three days of the notice’s publication, allowing interested parties to demonstrate capability or interest. Should no alternate responses be received, the acquisition will proceed directly with Analogic Corporation. Responses and capability statements must be submitted via email and the government retains sole discretion over whether to engage in competitive acquisition based on any responses received. The contracting office managing this procurement is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
