- Description
- Notice of Intent – Sole Source The 10th Mission Support Group, Directorate of Contracting, United States Air Force Academy Colorado, intends to award a sole source commercial purchase order in accordance with FAR Parts 12 & 13. This notice documents and incorporates provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-06, 30 Sep 05. The North America Industry Classification System Code [NAICS] is 339113 and the size standard is 500 employees. The government has determined that Arthrocare Corporation is the only source that can satisfy this agencies requirement. The requirement is to purchase electrosurgical supplies (Turbo Vac Arthrowand and Ultra Vac Wands) plus option quantities. Arthrocare products are the only products compatible with existing Bovie generator equipment. Test use of other vendor-stated “compatible wands” rendered the equipment inoperable (the generator unit is far more expensive than these disposable wands). The Arthrocare wand is identified by our surgeons as the only wand for their trained orthopedic specialist and provides optimum cutting and cauterization technique employed. Non-Arthrocare products would increase operating case times, establishment to open cavity surgical procedures, increase post operative pain to patients and changes to surgical procedures throughout the entire Operating Room. Arthrocare is the only brand name/sole source that can satisfy the government’s requirements. All responsible sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by 10MSG/LGCB. This synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals. Any company that feels they have items that meet the needs of the Government must submit their technical data (2 pages or less) to support their claim. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this synopsis. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (23-DEC-2005); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
