This purchase is for the Department of Veterans Ambulatory Care Center Columbus, Ohio. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 339113.

To the best of our knowledge, Boston Scientific is the only source that provides Spinal Cord Stimulators with each contact serving as its own power source and a 3-D programming algorithm. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes.
