- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System (CAVHS), 2200 Ft Roots Dr, N. Little Rock, Arkansas intends to negotiate a sole source procurement with Boston Scientific Corporation. The NAICS Code 339112 applies to these supplies. The CAVHS believes that Boston Scientific is the only source that can provide the Cognis Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) with the 'Smart Delay Feature'. This feature is designed to recommend an optimal AV delay to maximize LV dP/dt max in 2.5 seconds or less. This feature independently determines the paced and sensed AV delays based on three inputs; intrinsic conduction characteristics, intraventricular timing, and LV lead location. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, interested parties that believe they can meet these needs must furnish sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement no later than 4:00 p.m., CST, 11/22/2010. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by submitting literature, detailing how they can meet the VA requirements. Information can be sent to Brad Martin, 2200 Fort Roots Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas, 72114, fax to (501) 228-8651 or email to Bradley.Martin@va.gov. If no responses are received within the period indicated, CAVHS will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Boston Scientific Corporation. All Information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
