Notice Type: Special Notice

Synopsis:

The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344 publishes this notice of intent to award a sole source contract for informational purposes only. The 88th Medical Support Squadron requires O.R. Surgical Lights. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).

This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 339113 – Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. Business size standard: 750 employees.

The proposed source is STRYKER CORPORATION. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract regardless of responses that may be received to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, 6 March 2023.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: This procurement will be awarded on a sole source basis to Stryker Corporation, which is a large business. Efforts were taken to locate additional sources through market research, but Stryker Corporation has an integrative system, patented technology, and does not sell to third party vendors. No other sources can provide Operating Room Surgical Lights that can integrate with the existing system and meet the full list of the 88th Medical Support Squadron’s requirements. This acquisition will not be a small business set aside since two or more small businesses cannot provide this requirement.

The Department of Defense (DOD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DOD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DOD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM by telephone at 866-606-8220 or online at https://www.sam.gov.

The contact for this acquisition is A1C Donovan Durgin and can be reached at (937) 522-4540. Any information should be e-mailed to donovan_justin.durgin@us.af.mil no later than 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, 6 March 2023. Only inquiries/information received by this date will be considered.
