- Description
- Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) has a requirement to procure a virtual reality surgical ophthalmology training simulator to support the objectives of the WRNMMC's ophthalmology surgical residency program and to document the training proficiencies of the ophthalmologists participating in the program. The Government intends to procure the simulator on a sole source basis from VRmagic Inc. because preliminary market research indicates that only VRmagic Inc. can meet the program's requirements because only its simulator uses a stereo microscope, simulates every step in a cataract surgery, is a turnkey operation wherein the course ware is already installed, uses a 'physics based' approach in simulating surgical procedures on the human eye, monitors every step of the simulation and provides objective scoring and feedback regarding the participating ophthalmologist's surgical proficiency. Further, this system is unique in that it offers a 'complication module' for use in the training of advanced surgical procedures. Combined, these capabilities offer a unique and very realistic surgical training experience. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations and a solicitation for this requirement will not be issued. Prospective offerors are advised that, because there are no other known sources, the agency has authorized the procurement of this equipment under other than full and open competition under FAR 6.3. However, interested sources may submit a capability statement for the agency's consideration in determining whether a competitive procurement should be conducted in the future for this item. A copy of the Justification and Approval will be posted no later than 14 days after contract award.
