65--Special Notice of Intent

The U.S. Army Medical Command's Western Regional Contracting Office plans to award a firm-fixed price contract valued at $150,000 to Wright Medical Technology, Inc. for the acquisition of OEFusion Implants and Screws. These medical devices, all required to be FDA-approved, will be used in patient-specific surgeries at the Department of Surgery, Irwin Army Medical Center, Fort Riley, Kansas. The decision to procure these products is driven by a surgeon's determination that they best address individual patients' medical needs during surgery. The procurement will follow the Simplified Acquisition Procedures outlined in FAR Part 13 and will not involve a formal solicitation; instead, this announcement serves to notify interested firms that can provide similar supplies to submit supporting documentation for future consideration. Although no formal proposal is being requested at this time, firms capable of supplying the specified equipment are encouraged to submit information demonstrating their product capabilities and specifications to the designated Purchasing Agent, Mr. Walter J. Bischoff, via email only. This approach ensures that the contracting office maintains a pool of potential suppliers for future acquisitions. The contract aligns with the regulations under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) and is associated with NAICS code 339113, which pertains to surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing.
