- This is a notice that the Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, a sole source purchase order with Biometrics LTD, PO Box 340, Ladysmith,VA, for the purchase of five custom data acquisition systems.

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 VA Palo Alto has a requirement for five custom data acquisition systems in support of a Multi-Center trial that includes six other facilities to study tendon transfer surgeries using the protocol developed by the VA Palo Alto. This project was designed to duplicate a testing protocol used at the VAPAHCS. Custom supports and grips were developed and fabricated for the upper limb surgery in tetraplegia conference last September; these items cannot interface with any other brand of equipment. In order for participating centers to obtain consistent measurements that can be combined for analysis, it is critical that identical measurement systems be used to take postoperative measurements.
