Description

The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) Acquisitions Office intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with Becton Dickinson (BD) and Co., Inc., Home Health Division, 220 Lake Drive, Newark, NJ, 19702 for the procurement of cDIFF test kits for use in the UD Medical Center s BD Max Analyzer. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i) (only 1 responsible source) because the Government believes that Becton Dickinson is the only provider of these test kits that will properly work in the onsite BD Max System Analyzer.

Additionally, the vendor chosen for this contract will provide Field Service to the BD Max System analyzer and resolve all issues within 24 hours, Mon-Sun. The contract to be effected is for a base and 4 years beginning 1/01/17. This notice of intent is not for competitive quotes.
