- Description
- The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of the Lifecell Strattice Tissue Implant for a ventral hernia repair at WPAFB Medical Treatment Facility (MTF). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106 (b)(1). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 339113, Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. Size standard is 500 employees. The proposed source is Lifecell Corporation, 1 Millennium Way, Branchburg, NJ 08876-3876. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) day of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Government required the the Lifecell Strattice Tissue Implant for a ventral hernia repair at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) at Wright Patterson AFB (WPAFB). The doctor has exhausted all other options for this patient and determined that the Lifecell Strattice Tissue Implant was the only treatment that allowed contoured fit for reconstruction. Because of the contour, the Strattice implant fits into the patient's abdomen with an exact fit preventing excess tissue implants from being used. The surgeon has trained using the Lifecell Strattice Tissue Implant and if this item was not used the surgery would have needed to be sent off base at a substantial duplication of cost to the Government. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website: www.SAM.gov Any information should be e-mailed to emmeline.spaulding@us.af.mil no later than five (5) days of this notice.
