The Naval Medical Logistics Command has a requirement for two (2) microscopes, light, operating [12'- 539] for Naval Medical Center Po1tsmouth. The microscopes shall be functional for use in neuro-spine, : mtho-spine, craniotomy, vascular, and plastic surgery procedures. The microscopes shall have: three'. dimensional (3D) high definition (HD) video recording. The microscopes shall be mobile and have an auto-balance function. The microscopes shall be covered with sterile, self-secured draping:. The· microscopes shall have a 400 watt xenon light beam, adequate for use in deep tissue dissection. The· microscopes shall be capable of various modes of surgical fluorescence, including blue 400, yellow 560, and infrared 800. The microscopes shall provide a working distance of at least 470 mm. The power requirement for the microscopes is 100 V, 60 Hz. Vendor shall be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized dealer, authorized distribtitor,'or. authorized reseller for the proposed equipment/system, such that OEM warranty and service are provide.ct and maintained by the OEM. All software licensing, warranty, and service associated with the equipment/system shall be in accordance with the OEM terms and conditions.

These requirements shall apply even if delivery is requested outside of the United States of America. The system shall be installed in compliance with OSHA requirements.

The statutory authority which permits restricting consideration of schedule contractors to fewer than that required in FAR 8.405-1 or 8.405-2 is 41 U.S.C. 251, as implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Only Leica Microsystems, Inc. is capable of meeting the minimum requirements of the Government. Leica Microsystems, Inc. is the only vendor that can provide a 3D HD video recording surgical microscope capable of yellow 560 fluorescence-based visualization with a working distance of at least 470 mm that is offered on the Federal Supply Schedule, and that meets all the needs of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Yellow 560 fluorescence-based visualization is a capability that will be used to perform fluorescence-based guided surgery. To maintain capabilities of the systems being replaced at NMC Portsmouth, a working distance of at least 470 mm is required. The microscope offered by Leica Microsystems, Inc. has a maximum working distance of 600 mm. This capability allows surgeons to maneuver and pass large instruments below the microscope during surgeries. In addition, a greater working distance reduces strain on the surgeons' backs, especially during long-standing surgeries such as spine surgeries.
