- Description
- This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), 820 Chandler St, Fort Detrick, Maryland, 21702, to award a sole source contract to Electramed Corporation. under the statutory authority 13.501(a). This contract is for the purchase of 1 Lode Excalibur Sport Ergometer and accessories for use at the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM). This is an equipment purchase of 1 Lode Excalibur Sport Ergometer and accessories. USARIEM is requesting to purchase one Lode Excalibur Sport Ergometer to be used in upcoming research studies. This ergometer allows for maximal and submaximal physiological testing that is compatible with ParvoMedics Metabolic carts. This ergometer will allow USARIEM scientists to gather information about exercise physiology and nutrition (such as; oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, respiratory exchange ratio, metabolic fuel utilization, power output in watts, and heart rate change during exercise).Electramed Corporation is the only company to supply the Lode Excalibur Sport. Electramed is the manufacture of this ergometer, and therefore they are the only distributor. This ergometer will be used in multiple future studies and will be compared to previous research using the same brand of Lode ergometers. USARIEM previously used Lode Corival CPET Ergometers (Lode Corival CPET, Model # 960900) on multiple studies, to perform various physiological testing measures stated above. The Lode Excalibur Sport allows for conducting physiological tests that generate higher power outputs (e.g. Wingate test), which the Lode CPET Ergometer cannot do, in addition to all the physiological testing listed above. It is essential for publication purposes that the Lode Excalibur Sport be used to maintain validity of the data collected; due to the differences in accuracy of varying brands of ergometers. The Excalibur Sport is the only known model that will allow us to maintain the validity of comparing future data collected to previous data reported, while being compatible with our current ParvoMedics Metabolic carts. An award will be issued on a sole source basis. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 339920 and the size standard is 750.� This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102(a)(6) and 5.203(a). USAMRAA intends to award a contract no sooner than 15 days after publishing this synopsis. This Special Request for Information is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the expiration date listed in this notice, which reflects at least fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the award will be issued as sole source. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Mr. Christopher L. Cook �at christopher.l.cook68.civ@mail.mil.�
