A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (CC) intends to award a Firm-Fixed price purchase order to MEDTRONIC USA, INC, Jacksonville, Florida 32216 on a sole source basis to procure a NIM 4.0 Vital™ Nerve Monitoring system to replace an older generation NIM 3.0 Nerve Monitoring system. The NIM Vital system provides detailed intraoperative nerve condition information to help with surgical strategy and improve patient outcomes. The machine notifies you in real time the nerve condition both visually and audibly. The current supplies that are used for the NIM 3.0 are compatible with the upgraded NIM 4.0 Vital unit. The comprehensive system of the instrument and reagents are necessary to produce complete testing results, without the “PROPRIETARY” reagents patients in the Clinical Center cannot receive the care necessary for their treatment per protocols at NIH.
