Description

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)intends to extend contract no. 223-96-6052 entitled "Sentinel System" on a sole source basis. The contractor is Coda, Inc., 1100 Wayne Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910. The purpose of the extension is to provide continuous, uninterrupted service as a bridge between the existing contract and a new competitive award.

This program seeks to obtain information from user facilities concerning adverse events occuring with medical products (medical devices are the current focus of the program). Additionally, the expansion will increase the number of hospitals from 25 to 50 and begin enrollment of approximately 25 nursing homes. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253 (c) (1), Only One Responsible Source. Interested parties may identify their intent and must provide evidence of their capability to respond to the requirement within 10 days from publication of this notice. See Number Note 22.
