The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (VA VHA VISN 4) awarded a $1.5 million firm fixed price purchase order to Stryker Orthopaedics Division, a division of Stryker Corporation, to deliver one MAKO 3-D robotic arm system with applications and accessories. The contract has a period of performance from September 2023 through March 2024 and will be carried out in Mahwah, New Jersey.
The original solicitation sought to procure the Stryker Mako robotic system and associated items from an authorized Stryker reseller on an unrestricted basis. The single award was justified as the Mako system was determined to be the only product cleared by the FDA that could interface with the agency's existing equipment and protocols. The equipment will support VISN 4's orthopedic services for veterans. No subcontractors or set aside designations were identified in the award information.
