Spinal surgery inplants and instruments

The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center in San Diego plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Synthes, located in West Chester, PA, for implant parts and instruments specifically designed for spinal surgery. These supplies are intended for use on the USNS Mercy Hospital Ship. There is no formal solicitation document issued, and the procurement will follow Government-wide note 22, which governs sole source acquisitions. The agency invites any firm capable of providing the required items to submit a written notification to the Contracting Officer within five calendar days from the publication date, but telephone requests will not be accepted. Responses will be evaluated, though the government retains full discretion over whether to proceed with competition or award the contract as a sole source. If no other responses are received, the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center will move forward with awarding the contract directly to Synthes.

The contract involves NAICS code 339113 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Navsup Fleet Logistics Center in San Diego, CA.
