- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA 19104 intends to enter into a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source, with BARRX Medical INC. of Sunny Vale, California for Radio-Frequency Ablation Equipment for the treatment of Barrett's Esophagus. Radiofrequency ablation devices attach to inflatable balloons of various sizes. A special electrosurgical generator is required to apply the radiofrequency energy to the patient. Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia is a condition that places patients at very high risk of developing esophageal cancer, a very deadly and poorly treatable disease. The successful prevention of esophageal cancer by using the subject equipment will prevent much suffering and cost. The subject equipment includes: Barrx electro-surgical generator, sizing balloons, treatment catheters, and guidewires. The Government has determined that only one source can satisfy the Agency's requirement and intends to award to BARRX Medical Inc. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. No solicitation document shall be posted and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any manufacturer that determines it can meet the requirements may give written notice via e-mail to PETER.SANTANGELO@VA.GOV prior to 04/25/2012 at 1:00 pm Eastern Time. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to meet the subject requirement. This information shall be provided at no cost or obligation to the Government. All responses received will be evaluated; however, the information received will be used solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. If no responses are received, the Philadelphia VA Medical Center will proceed with a sole source procurement to BARRX Medical Inc.
