The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration awarded a firm fixed price purchase order to Natus Medical Incorporated, a foreign-owned manufacturer, for the supply and installation of two diagnostic full-range 2-channel audiometers. The $30,119.83 contract is for use by the Audiology department at the new Sarpy County Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Papillion, Nebraska. The contract was awarded on a sole source basis, as Natus is the proprietary developer and sole service provider for the Madsen Astera 2 audiometer system currently utilized by the VA healthcare system. The contract is not set aside and was awarded under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurements when only one source can meet the government's requirements. Natus has provided a wide array of medical equipment and related services to federal agencies like the VA, Department of Defense, and National Institutes of Health through various contract vehicles.
