INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
45433-5344. This is a synopsis published for informational purposes only.
This proposed action is for the acquisition of Connext Surgical Matrix. It was
determined that Ventris Medical is the only source available to provide the
product meeting the Governments specifications in the attached Statement
of Work. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one
source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), resulting in a firm fixed
price contract.
The proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American
Industry Classification Systems Code (NAICS) 339113. Size standard is 750
employees. The proposed source is the manufacturer of the items, Secada
Medical, LLC, dba. Vetris Medical.1201 Dove Street, Suite 470. 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. Information received will normally be
considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a
competitive procurement.
In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition
is as follows: Ventris Medical is the only known source capable of meeting
the Government’s requirements. Therefore it is in the best interest of the
Government to award to Secada Medical. LLC, dba. Ventris Medical. Please
see Attachment 2, Sole Source Justification, for more complete details.
Important Notice to Contractors: All prospective awardees are required to
register at the System for Award Management (SAM) and to maintain active
