The Government will purchase the following items, which are needed to repair Medrad Stellant Auto Injectors and to complete sets of Computed Tomography (CT) machines used by deployed forces in theater: Part#: SCT221; Description: STELLANTDUAL W/DUAL FLOW, PEDESTAL; Qty: 4 Part#: 60721333; Description: MANUAL, SERVICE, STELLANT, MC; Qty: 4 Part#: 60720221; Description: MAN, OP, STELLANT(EN), MC; Qty: 4 Part#: 60727056; Description: ASSY, SYSTEM,ISI-700,MC; Qty: 4 Part#: 59944049; Description: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION; Qty: 2 Part#: 59883597; Description: ASSY, CABLE, POWER, PIGTAIL, OVERMOLD, DUAL; Qty: 2 Part#: 59877473; Description: ASSY, CABLE, HEAD EXT, 50FT,(SINGLE/DUAL) ; Qty: 2 The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 339112 and the size standard is 1,000 employees. These items are needed at a USAMMA depot at Tracy, CA which repairs and replaces Medical equipment used by deployed forces in theater. Medical equipment repair parts are available only from the manufacturer of the equipment or from a firm that has been licensed by the manufacturer to produce authorized parts. This conclusion is based on Army Regulations and market research. Army Regulation (AR) 40-61, Medical Logistics Policies, prohibits modifications or alterations of Army medical equipment without the manufacturer's consent. Section 6-17 provides that even "minor alterations without the manufacturer's consent may negate any further manufacturer product liability." AR 40-61 lists four circumstances under which Army medical maintenance personnel may modify medical equipment: modification work order, quality assurance alteration, minor alteration, and component modernization. All require manufacturer involvement or consent. Additionally, the specific preventative maintenance services required for the Medrad Stellant Auto Injectors includes calibration of the proprietary and copyrighted software. This software is only available to Bayer's authorized field service representatives and others who have been trained, authorized, and licensed to use the software. Per the information obtained directly from Bayer Healthcare, the OEM is the only company that can perform the required preventive maintenance and is the only provider that can update the software properly. Therefore, although the required parts may be available from third party resellers, the required service can only be performed by the OEM. This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102(a)(6) and 5.203(a). This Special Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the Government intends to issue an award directly to Bayer Healthcare LLC. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Ms. Lisa Zarick at lisa.m.zarick.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above e-mail address or by mail to the address listed below no later than 4:00 pm Eastern Time, Friday, 14 April 2017.
