- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source The Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) intends to award a sole source purchase order under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), due to only one source being available to meet the Government's needs, to St. Jude Medical, Inc., 1 Saint Jude Medical Dr., Saint Paul, MN 55117-1789. Requirement is 80 boxes of curved cannulas, 100mm, 18 ga, 10mm tip for the Neurotherm RFA machine. The radio frequency ablation is a process that burns a nerve in the patient's spine. The probes are the device that actually connects to the machine and conducts the current to the needles. The probe must fit into the receptacle on the machine to be able to read the temperature. The RF cannulas must be curved, 100mm, 18 ga, 10mm tip. The needles are used one time per patient. The needles must have spray coating for a smooth transition between the active tip and the insulation; must have additional silicone to reduce penetration and running forces; tapered tip for easy dermal penetration, and ergonomic hub with steerable shaft to facilitate proper needle placement. This needle is what actually pierces the patient's skin and is in direct contact with the body. The needles must be designed to work with the probe to produce the correct size lesion. St. Jude Medical is the only manufacturer and sole distributor that produces the probes and needles with salient characteristics mentioned above. St. Jude Medical's Neurotherm machine can only use the probes designed for this RF machine. St. Jude Medical offers a broad range of gauges, active tip lengths and needle length designed to facilitate easier and reliable placement during the most challenging RF ablation procedures. This is the only system on the market that meets the requirements identified herein. Additionally, this is the only product on the market of its kind. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management and technical data and cost information, in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to perform the required work. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete 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 or to proceed with a sole source purchase order. Capability statements are due by 08:00 AM PST, September 26, 2016. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: renier.s.valdez.civ@mail.mil.
