Specifically, the requirement is for a vitrectomy system. The system shall be a multi-function ophthalmic surgical system for the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. The system shall be used for vitreoretinal surgeries such as the treatment of retinal detachment, intraocular tumors, severe eye trauma, and the ocular disorders associated as complications of diabetes and sickle cell disease. The system shall be capable of supporting a minimum of 4,000 cuts per minute. The system shall have an integrated 532nm green laser with the full function operability of a traditional ophthalmic microsurgical system. The system shall also have an integrated xenon light source and have at least a 23 gauge probe. The system must have an intraocular pressure control system and footswitch to give the operator hands-free control of multiple functions. The system shall easily transition between the various devices/tools commonly used in vitrectomy and cataract cases. Alcon Laboratories is the only acceptable manufacturer that can provide a vitrectomy system that meets the minimum cutting speed requirement that also has an integrated ophthalmic green laser. The system shall be compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements to market and deliver medical products for use in the United States of America, even should delivery be requested outside of the United States.

The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 339115 with a Small Business Size Standard of 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice will need to submit technical data sufficient to determine capability in providing the same product. Due to the urgency of this requirement, all capability statements received within 15 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
