- Description
- The National Institute on Aging, IRP, intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis with Biodex Medical Systems, Inc., Shirley, New York for the following: Biodex System 4 Pro Orthopedic Testing & Rehabiliation System, Model #850-000; Dynamometer and CDS…220 Voltage Required including 835-210-A000 System 4 CDS Cart, 900-860 System 4 Dynamometer, 835-130-K900 Trolley Assembly, 850-000-E3000 Dell Tower PC, C13033 Touch Screen Monitor Assembly, 86-339 HP Desk-Jet Printer, 850-109 System 4 Pro Software and Firmware, 850-110 North American Power Cord; Research Tool Kit, #830-108 and all shipping and handling charges. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(b)(1). The cited authority is applicable because Biodex is the only source that can fulfill the requirements of this contract. Muscle strength testing is an integral component of the physical assessment undertaken within the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). We have captured data for more than two decades using a dynamometer that accurately assesses lower extremity muscle strength. Unfortunately, our equipment has become less reliable requiring frequent calibrations and adjustments. Data generated is also more variable and less consistent. A sole source for equipment replacement is justified on the basis of the longitudinal nature of our study and the need to maintain continuity with the prior dynamometer-derived data. The Biodex equipment is the only one that will provide data comparable to current equipment. Delivery will be within 30 days after receipt of order. This acquisition is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition procedures and is exempt from the requirements of FAR, Part 6, Competition Requirement. Award will be made on an all or none basis to the lowest priced, technically acceptable source.
