- Description
- Cosmed (Life Measurement) "Bod Pod" Synopsis The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), Bethesda, Maryland, intends to negotiate a on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1 (b), with Cosmed USA (formerly Life Measurement in Concord, CA) for the following supplies: Two (2): air dysplacement plethysmography ("Bod Pod") machines for body composition analysis. Model Number: BOD POD 2007A, Gold Standard The Bod Pods will be used to conduct obesity prevention programs at three military bases. The Bod Pod allows measurement changes in fat-free mass and adiposity. The Bod Pod is a much more accurate assessment of fatness than body mass index (based upon height and weight) because it discriminates lean (e.g., muscle) mass from body fat. This equipment will be procured as a commercial item in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). The sole source determination is based on very specific equipment that Cosmed provides; there were no other sources for this equipment available. Cosmed is the only company that offers the Bod Pod as specified here. Therefore Cosmed is the one source reasonably available to meet the needs of the government. This is not a request for quote. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide the equipment as specified above. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to carolyn.randolph@usuhs.mil. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 26 August 2011, 5:00 pm EST.
