- 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 establishment of a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Medtronic USA, Inc. for cardiology surgical supplies. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(2). This proposed BPA establishment will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 339113: Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. Business size standard for NAICS 339113 is 750 employees. The proposed source is Medtronic USA, Inc. located at 710 Medtronic Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN, 55432-5603. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed BPA establishment based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. 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 establish a BPA on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government, if received by Friday, 1 September 2017, 11:00 A.M. EST. FAR 5.207(c)(15) Compliance Statement: The Government requires the Medtronic USA, Inc. heart surgical supplies for specific heart surgeries to be performed at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) at Wright-Patterson AFB. Medtronic is the only company capable of providing Internal Holter Monitors for long term rhythmic monitoring, a feature required in surgeries in which the patient must have a loop recorder. Medtronic also has the only line of devices compatible with patients that require frequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic testing post-surgery. The Medtronic USA, Inc. cardiology surgical supplies are the only known surgical supplies that the Orthopedic Surgeon is trained on for this type of cardiology procedures. The MTF requires each Medtronic implant device to be delivered on or about the time of surgery, and attendance at the surgery by a surgical sales representative who will possess any related implants reasonably foreseeable for the type of surgery occurring at that time. 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 by telephone at 866-606-8220 or online at https://www.sam.gov. Any information should be e-mailed to joshua.clymer@us.af.mil no later than Friday, September 1, 2017, 11:00 A.M. EST. Only inquiries/information received by this date will be considered. Please be advised that all correspondence sent via e-mail shall contain a subject line that reads "Medtronic BPA" Note that e-mail filters at Wright-Patterson AFB are designed to filter e-mails without subject lines or with suspicious subject lines or contents (i.e.,.exe, or.zip files). Therefore, if this subject line is not included, the e-mail may not get through the e-mail filters.
