- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to Thera Tactics, Inc., 44857 Bayview Ave, Apt. 2210, Clinton Township, MI, for the development and testing of an Enhanced Pulse Oximeter (EPO) system, along with the delivery of (10) prototypes and necessary accessories. The anticipated performance for this award is for a period of 14 months. This requirement is in support of ongoing research protocols at Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton, OH. Thera Tactics has an original equipment manufacturer agreement with Nellcor (Medtronic) that allows them to incorporate a FDA cleared Nellcor pulse oximeter board into their monitoring system. The Government requires that the pulse oximetry system be able to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) at the capillary bed that is supplied by the supraorbital artery. The Thera Tactics pulse oximeter (TTPO) is specifically designed for high performance tactical aviators, as it uses a forehead sensor that is placed over the microcirculation fed by the supraorbital artery that arises from the internal carotid artery and lacks vasoconstrictor properties. The Government requires the pulse oximetry system to carry very unique specifications, some of which requirements are under a pending patent. Thera Tactics, Inc. is the owner the required pending patents, which allow the pulse oximeter systems to meet the unique specifications that are required for the Government. Therefore, Thera Tactics is the only company that can meet the Governments requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management and technical data and cost information in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to perform the required work. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source contract. Capability statements are due by 2:00 PM Local Time, 07 September 2017 (15 days). Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following addresses: jennifer.m.reed20.civ@mail.mil and thomas.l.hood26.civ@mail.mil.
