65 -- CRYOABLATION SURGICAL SYSTEM SOL N62645-99-R-0018 DUE 062299 POC Point of contact -- CLAUDIA ADDISON, CONTRACT SPECIALIST, (301) 619-7467 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting specialist via, caddison@nml10.med.navy.mil. The Navy has a requirement for one (1) cryoablation surgical system to be used for the targeting and cryoablation of diseased tissue. In addition to other fuctions, this system must rapidly destroy malignant tissue during percutaneous surgery. Only a cryosurgical system that uses a probe that relies on the Joule Kelvin Effect can safely perform this procedure without harming the surrounding tissue, instantaneously freezing and maximizing the destruction of malignant cells. To tailor treatment to individual cases in this type of procedure, the system must operate eight separate probes simultaneously. The Navy intends to negotiate with Endocare, Inc. as the only source on an other than full and open competition. See Note 22. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation document; proposals are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. Responses must contain sufficient documentation to establish a bonafide capability to fulfill the requirements. The request for quotation number is N62645-99-R-0018. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-11. Endocare, Inc., 7 Studebaker Drive, Irvine, CA 92618 shall satisfy this requirement by providing the following: One (1) cryoablation surgical system. The requirement for percutaneous surgery prevents the use of cryosurgical equipment that allows the temperature of the tubing leading to the probe drop, therefore, liquid nitrogen systems are not acceptable. This equipment shall use argon gas as the coolant and rely on the rapid expansion of gas in the tip of the cryoprobe (Joule Kelvin Effect) to cool tissue rapidly. The system shall have the ability to independently control eight separate cryoprobes. All probes shall be computer monitored. The system shall include integrated temperature feedback system. The control unit shall be microprocessor-based. Simultaneous temperature monitoring permits confirmation of targeted temperatures necessary to cause fatal freezing of the tissue. The system shall weigh less than or equal to 175 pounds (80kg). The system shall use 120VAC 60Hz. Due to limited access doorways, the system shall not exceed 36 inches in width or depth. The system must be Y2K compliant. The price for the system must include installation and calibration on site at Naval Medical Center San Diego. Delivery is required within 30 days after contract award at: Receiving Officer, Navy Medical Center San Diego Center, UIC-ECN: 00259-990022, Loading Dock 1, San Diego, CA 92134-5000.
