- Description
- This is a Notice of Intent published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a)(1) requiring the dissemination of information regarding proposed contract actions. This Notice of Intent is for a proposed award of a sole source firm fixed price contract to the following contractor in support of Visual Eyes Binocular Video Goggles in support of St. Cloud VA Health Care System, 4801 Veterans Drive, St. Cloud, MN 56303-2015: Midwest Special Instruments Corp. UEI: FM4JUBJW8TF4 16204 Lakeside Ave. SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 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 Midwest Special Instruments Corp is the sole source factory trained representative for the sale and installation of Interacoustics and Micromedical by Interacoustics product portfolios and all related calibration, and service within the state of Minnesota. The Interacoustics brand of Binocular Video Goggles is the only equipment fully compatible with the already installed Vestibular Testing System in use at the St. Cloud VA. Thus, it is impossible for any other company to provide this product as Midwest Special Instruments Corp has a letter of authorization from Interacoustics stating they are the sole source factory trained representatives in the state of Minnesota and does not allow for authorized resellers, authorized dealers, or third party maintenance vendors to provide such services. Any other entity besides Midwest Special Instruments Corp 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 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and the Product Service Code (PSC) is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, 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 Interacoustics 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 Erica Miller, Contracting Specialist, at erica.miller5@va.gov. No phone calls please. Please indicate Response to Visual Eyes Binocular Video Goggles 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.
