- Description
- Under Statutory Authority ?? 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) the Government anticipates entering into sole source procurement negotiations with US Bioservices, Addison, TX, to provide Carticel, grown autologous cartilage cells. Contractor shall culture biopsied cells for fourteen (14) days at a laboratory to increase the number of cells and return the cells to the Hines VA. The cells will then be implanted back into a VA patient to repair and restore the articular cartilage surface. The above authority is cited and justification made based on the determination that the Government's minimum needs can best be satisfied by supplies/services available from one source. This announcement is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1. Other persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by February 7, 2008. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interest received on or before February 7, 2008 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation document is available.
