The Government intends to issue a firm-fixed-price contract, on a sole source basis to Karl Storz Endoscopy America, Inc. After conducting a thorough review of this requirement, a determination has been made that it is in the best interest of the customer/ end user ; more importantly, its patients - that maintenance and repair service for the aforementioned Karl Storz Flexible Endoscopes models only be provided by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Karl Storz Endoscopy America, Inc. This decision was based on several factors. First VA Miami, the owner of the device, uses the Medivator Sterilizer for sterilizing flexible endoscope. Medivator issued a letter stating that they cannot assume responsibility for inappropriate or incomplete disinfection due to the incorrect repair of endoscopes by a third party repair facility. Second, In order to address quality control and standardization concerns, VAMC Miami has enacted a policy that states only Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) can perform repairs on flexible endoscopes based on VA IG recommendations. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, interested parties may submit a capability statement that includes technical specifications of services, demonstrating ability to provide service and repair of described equipment herein.
