--Intent to Increase Value of Award.

Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington plans to increase the value of the existing sole-source contract W91YU0-04-P-0246 with Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems / Cordis. This contract covers the procurement of various medical products, including stents, catheters, and associated supplies listed on the vendor’s commercial product and price list. The contract value will be raised to $200,000. The award was justified under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1, allowing for a non-competitive procurement. This action does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, and the government retains full discretion on whether or not to pursue competitive procurement based on any feedback received in response to this notice. The purpose of the notice is mainly to inform potential interested parties, with no solicitation to follow. The increase aligns with the government’s operational requirements for medical supplies, ensuring continued and uninterrupted access to these specific commercial products.
