UEI: GBXVPVMHNAH5 1525 Obrien Drive Menlo Park, CA 94025-1463 This is done under authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1: Only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This is not a request for competitive quotes. Market research revealed that Acclarent Inc is the proprietary developer and sole service provider for the Acclarent TruDi Navigation System currently being utilized by Iowa City VA Medical Center. Additionally, Acclarent Inc is the creator and Original Equipment Manufacturer of the Acclarent TruDi Navigation System Maintenance and has over the life of this equipment serviced this equipment for Iowa City VA Medical Center. Acclarent Inc, furthermore, owns the proprietary maintenance rights for this equipment. Thus, it is impossible for any other company to provide maintenance for this equipment as Acclarent Inc has sole rights and does not allow for authorized resellers, authorized dealers, or third party maintenance vendors to provide such services. Any other entity besides Acclarent Inc providing this service would result in violation of these proprietary rights and voiding of any equipment warranties, as applicable. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this service is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and the Product Service Code (PSC) is J065 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement, including documentation from the proprietary rights holder Acclarent Inc. that such contractor could provide this service as an authorized reseller, authorized dealer or third party. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency by e-mailing such statement and supporting documentation to Evan Beachy, Contracting Officer, at evan.beachy@va.gov. No phone calls please. Please indicate Response to Acclarent TruDi Navigation System Maintenance in subject line of e-mail. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government under authorities cited above.
