- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics to purchase an Above Knee Prosthetic limb. This purchase is for the Department of Veterans Ambulatory Care Center Columbus, Ohio. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 339113. The Government believes that Hanger Prosthetics is the only provider that can satisfy the agency requirements. Therefore, the Government intends to proceed with a sole source for the required Prosthesis. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with VHA Handbook 1173.3 - eligible veterans who have previously received artificial limbs from commercial sources, will continue to have their choice of vendors on contract with VA or their non-contract prosthetist, providing the prosthetist accepts the VA preferred provider rate for the geographic area. Also reference FAR 6.302 - only one responsible source and no other vendor will satisfy agency requirements. To the best of our knowledge, Hanger Prosthetics is the only source that provides the X-3 autoadaptive microprocessor controlled knee-shin system required for this patient within a reasonable commuting distance and registered in SAM. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. No solicitation document is available; however, any firm that believes it can meet these requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer within four (4) calendar days from the date of publication of this synopsis. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. Information can be sent to the Contracting Officer, VA Ambulatory Care Center, 420 N. James Road, Columbus, Ohio 43219-1834 or faxed to 614.388.7500. Responses received will be evaluated, however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the Columbus VACC will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Hanger Prosthetics.
