These items are needed at a USAMMA depot at Tracy, CA which repairs and replaces Medical equipment used by deployed forces in theater. Medical equipment repair parts are available only from the manufacturer of the equipment or from a firm that has been licensed by the manufacturer to produce authorized parts. This conclusion is based on Army Regulations and market research. Army Regulation (AR) 40-61, Medical Logistics Policies, prohibits modifications or alterations of Army medical equipment without the manufacturer's consent. Section 6-17 provides that even "minor alterations without the manufacturer's consent may negate any further manufacturer product liability." AR 40-61 lists four circumstances under which Army medical maintenance personnel may modify medical equipment: modification work order, quality assurance alteration, minor alteration, and component modernization. All require manufacturer involvement or consent. This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102(a)(6) and 5.203(a). This Special Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects 18 days after the publication of this notice, the Government intends to issue an award directly to Michigan Instruments, Incorporated. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Ms. Lisa Zarick at lisa.m.zarick.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above e-mail address or by mail to the address listed below no later than 10:00 am Eastern Time, Tuesday, 3 January 2017.
