The Government has a requirement for three (3) different make/models commercial Surgical Microscopes. The government?s intent is to procure three (3) different make and model surgical microscopes for first article testing. The purpose of this testing is to evaluate each device?s ability to function successfully in an austere environment. Once the environmental and operational testing has concluded, the government?s intent is to issue a direct sole source procurement for additional microscopes over a set period of time.The surgical microscope is a commercial optical microscope used in microsurgery. Its components are easily disinfected and sterilized to prevent cross contamination. It features fingertip controls of focus, zoom, and positioning on each side of the microscope. It is utilized in procedures that involve small structures or areas, such as cochlear implants, removing tumors at the skull base, and larynx carcinoma surgery. Surgical microscopes have an extraordinary image quality, high resolution, non-distorting illuminations, and color fidelity delivered by the brilliant, totally apochromatic optics. The internal focus mechanism known as the Varioscope allows the surgeon to focus up or down the focal plane without changing lenses. The zoom system provides an excellent field of view and magnification.
