66--Platelets Rich Plasma Kits

The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, VISN6 Central Acquisition Service, plans to enter into a sole source procurement agreement with Harvest Technologies Corp. for specialized platelet-rich products and applicators, specifically the Platelet Rich Kit APC-20, Platelet Rich Plasma Kits APC-60 and APC-120, along with LK-2 and SK-S Applicators. This procurement is intended to support medical equipment at the VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. The acquisition is justified under statutory authority allowing non-competitive procurement, as the agency has determined that only Harvest Technologies Corp. can meet the specific requirements. This action does not constitute a request for competitive quotes, and no formal solicitation will be issued. However, any other company that believes it can fulfill the contract requirements may submit a written notification with sufficient evidence demonstrating their capability by the specified deadline of September 17, 2010, at 3:00 PM. The government will use any received information to decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, though the final decision to forego competition rests solely with the agency. The contract relates to the procurement of platelet-rich plasma kits under solicitation number VA24610RQ0334 and falls under NAICS code 423450, managed by the NETWORK Contracting Office 6 located in Hampton, Virginia.
