6515--Vascular Instruments-SPS Cincinnati VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 10 in Dayton, Ohio, has awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order valued at $56,190.00 to Scanlan International Inc. for proprietary vascular surgical instrumentation to support the Cincinnati VA Medical Center’s Vascular Surgery and Sterile Processing Services. The procurement, identified by solicitation number 36C25026Q0586 and award number 36C25026P0747, was justified under FAR 12.102(c) due to the exclusive proprietary technologies embedded in Scanlan’s instruments, including DIAMOND DUST™ jaws/tips, Never Shear™ Dual Guide™ technology, and Scan-II® handles, which are essential for maintaining operational consistency, surgical standardization, and seamless integration with the facility’s Censitrac instrument tracking system. No competitive solicitation was conducted, as the Government determined that no other vendor can provide instruments with the same technical specifications, clinical performance, or system compatibility required for uninterrupted patient care, particularly with the addition of two new vascular surgeons. Delivery is required at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, located at 3200 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, with inspection and acceptance performed by the Government upon arrival. The contract does not specify a detailed delivery schedule, FOB terms, or line-item pricing beyond the total award amount, nor does it include formal packaging, marking, or invoicing instructions. The NAICS code 339112 applies to this surgical and medical instrument manufacturing procurement, and the vendor’s Unique Entity ID is M2SDMDSNZHT4, though no socioeconomic set-aside or small business certification was indicated. Contract administration is managed by Contracting Officer Kellie Konopinski and Contract Specialist Ghazal Jones, with no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative designated. All requirements are driven by operational necessity and proprietary technology integration rather than standardized commercial or military specifications, and no formal evaluation factors, clauses, or attachments beyond the instrument descriptions were provided, reflecting a streamlined non-competitive acquisition under FAR Part 12.
