The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, through its Acquisition Management Department, has awarded a sole source contract to LHASA OMS INC. for the procurement of Acupuncture Starter Kits to support the Pain Management Clinic. This contract was established as an urgent requirement and was executed under the authority of FAR 6.302, allowing the government to solicit and negotiate with a single source due to the lack of other responsible suppliers that met the necessary criteria.

The contract is identified under the solicitation number 14RC04M10 and pertains to medical supplies within the NAICS code 423450. The offices responsible for this procurement are located in Bethesda, MD, with the Department of Defense as the overseeing agency. The designated point of contact for this contract is Judith S. Meynard, a purchasing agent who can be reached via email or phone.
