Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. 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, if received by Monday, 27 August 2018, 02:00 P.M. EST. 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 the Veran SPiN Thoracic Navigation System to expedite diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer at the Wright-Patterson AFB (WPAFB) Medical Treatment Facility (MTF). The Veran SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is a portable electromagnetic bronchoscopy platform with patented 4-D Respiration Technology and allows for portability for the system to be utilized in multiple operating and clinical rooms for diagnosing bronchoscopy and transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) procedures. The system will allow the MTF to obtain greater sampling of suspicious cancer tissue masses down to 1 cm. The proposed sole source is the only known source able to satisfy the Government's requirements.
