6540--RETINOMAX AUTOREFRACTOR

The Department of Veterans Affairs' East Orange VAMC plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to OPTICS Inc. for the procurement of additional RETINOMAX AUTOREFRACTOR devices. This decision is based on the authority provided by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, citing only one source reasonably available due to factors such as urgency and exclusive licensing. The contract falls under the NAICS code 339113, which pertains to Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, but capable sources are encouraged to submit proprietary information to be considered for future requirements, though any submitted information will not be reimbursed. The award is intended to be executed around August 4, 2022, and the contract will be managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs office located in Albany, NY. OPTICS Inc., based in Brunswick, Ohio, is the sole intended recipient of this contract, which follows a previous engagement for the same product. Due to the urgency of the requirement and the specific nature of the product, no requests for briefings or telephonic inquiries regarding this notice will be entertained. The action is conducted under the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02, signaling a continued partnership between the VA and OPTICS Inc. for supplying the RETINOMAX AUTOREFRACTOR to support veterans' healthcare services. The point of contact for this procurement is Wilmen Joa, who can be reached via email.
