GE Healthcare Corometrics 259CX Fetal Monitors

This is a Sole Source Synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of five (5) NEW maternal/fetal monitors in the Maternal Child Care Inpatient Flight (MCCIF) at the Medical Treatment Facility on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. See Attachment 1, Statement of Work. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The proposed source is GE Healthcare Daytex-Ohmeda, located at 3030 Ohmeda Drive, Madison, WI, the sole distributor of this equipment. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Government requires monitors to replace some of the monitors currently in use, and requires the new monitors to be the same as the existing monitors at WPAFB. The proposed sole source is the only known source able to satisfy the Government's requirements. Important Notice to Contractors: All prospective awardees are required to register at the System for Award Management (SAM) and to maintain active registration during the life of the contract. SAM can be accessed at https://www.sam.gov. For a detailed description of the applicable SAM requirements and payment information, please review the clauses included in the attached solicitation.
