STERILIZERS

The US Naval Hospital Guam plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Johnson and Johnson (Philippines) Inc. for preventive and corrective maintenance services on two government-owned Sterrad 100S sterilizers located in the Surgical Suite/Main Operating Room. The contract covers the period from October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2009, with an option to extend for an additional year. This sole source action is justified under federal regulations due to the necessity of maintaining the sterilizers in accordance with the original manufacturer's standards to ensure proper functioning and patient safety. No solicitation will be issued as this is not a competitive procurement. The contract relates to NAICS code 423450 and will be administered by the Department of Defense through the Naval Medical Research Center Detachment in Guam. The place of performance is Agana Heights, Guam. Jocelyn T. Layson-Castillo is the designated purchasing agent and point of contact for this procurement. The contract aims to ensure that critical sterilization equipment remains operational and compliant with the manufacturer's maintenance requirements, supporting the hospital's surgical capabilities.
