- This is announcement is to provide notice of intent of the VA Maryland Health Care System to negotiate sole source with Cytocentrics to provide one CytoPatch-10 beta base module. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 ? ?Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.?

The CytoPatch-10 is a tabletop, modular system. The CytoPatch-10 is capable of true perfusion and offers an integrated software program for analysis of large volume data. The NAICS code is 423490.
