- Description
- The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System intends to issue a sole source procurement toMedivance Inc. under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This procurement is to obtain the Arctic Sun Control Module (Temperature Management System) which will be used for hypothermia status-post cardiac arrest to improve neurological outcome. This item uses non-invasive technology to cool or warm the core temperature of the body through a system of directly adherent skin pads allowing for maximum efficiency of heat energy transfer. These pads are situated in a manner affording unobstructed access to the patient's head, neck, and subclavian and femoral areas. Overshooting of target temperature is less likely with the temperature control through pads adhering directly to the patient. There are no invasive lines nor the risks associated with them in the use of this equipment. 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 seven (7) 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 Medivance, Inc..
