- Description
- The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System intends to issue a sole source procurement to U.S. Surgical under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This procurement is to obtain the ForceTriad Electrosurgery/Ligasure Unit. This energy platform system combines monopolar, bipolar and LigaSure tissue fusion capabilities into one unit. This is an electrosurgical system intended for open and laparoscopic surgical procedures giving the surgeon a full range of options including electrosurgical cutting and coagulation, bipolar functionality and LigaSure tissue fusion. It provides faster and more consistent tissue and vessel fusion and constantly makes the necessary adjustments to create permanent tissue fusion. The ForceTriad system contains a sensing technology control system designed to precisely manage energy delivery, creating a wide range of options for desired tissue effect. This technology makes 4,000 decisions per second to provide customized tissue effect for each patient?s tissue structure. It is the belief of the Government that there is currently only one responsible source capable of providing this equipment to satisfy the agency requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification, accompanied by supporting evidence in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements, to the contracting officer within ten (10) days from the date of publication of this synopsis. All responses must be in writing via e-mail to Cheryl.Weidner@med.va.gov or faxed to 412-365-5451. If no responses are received, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System will proceed with the sole source procurement from U.S. Surgical.
