Estimated Amount: Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Stryker Core 2 Console is a state-of-the-art surgical navigation system that aims to enhance precision, accuracy, and overall patient care. Only the Core 2 Console will meet the needs in the OR to support 3D visualization, providing surgeons with a depth perception that enhances their spatial awareness during intricate procedures. During surgical procedures (orthopedic, dental, ENT, Neuro, Spine, and endoscopic), this product allows unparalleled customization to the operating theatre. A team of providers/surgeons met to discuss this equipment and found no other device has been able to provide this unique equipment for surgical procedures. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: MR began with the VetCert, using NAICS Code 334510, which identified 305 vendors. In addition, DSBS was also searched using the same NAICS Code and key words Stryker Console , and this search found no potential vendors. However, during the market research, FPDS did find 2 SDVOSB vendors that can provide this equipment. GSA and SCMC does show that this equipment can be found on GSA, but only by the large business OEM, Stryker Corp. Since market research did find that this equipment is available through two SDVOSB vendors, both the VA Rule of Two and the SBA Rule of Two can be met. Therefore, this should be solicited as an Open Market, SB Set-Aside, to follow the NMR requirements for award. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. ____________________________ LouAnn Gilliland Contracting Officer Statement of Work (Stryker Core Console) Introduction: The Stryker Core 2 Console is an advanced medical device that has revolutionized the field of surgical imaging and visualization.
