NOTE: Award is contingent upon funds being made available and further approvals. 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 single source award under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334510- Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, with a Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, with a Small Business Administration size standard of 1250 employees. The award will be unrestricted. In accordance with FAR Part 19, the contracting officer, based on market research, has determined there is not a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns that are competitive in terms of price, quality, and delivery. Description of Requirement: 2008T HD SYS. CDX BLUE STAR, Fresenius USA (FUSA) shall supply eight (8) 2008T hemodialysis systems to USMCFP Springfield. FUSA shall dispose of existing 2008K or 2008T machines on a one-to-one ratio with the purchase of new 2008T machines within 60 days of new equipment purchase.

Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice will be solely at the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. If no responses are received that show competition would be advantageous, the Government will proceed with the sole source procurement to Fresenius USA (FUSA). Responses must be received at the email address mday@bop.gov by the response deadline detailed in the Contract Opportunities Posting. Verification of receipt is the responsibility of the vendor.
