This firm-fixed-price purchase order was awarded by the Medical Command (MEDCOM) component of the U.S. Department of Defense to Depuy Synthes Sales, Inc. for the procurement of hip arthroplasty implants for Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC). The contract has a ceiling value of $44,000.00 and a period of performance through January 15, 2019. Depuy Synthes, a division of Johnson & Johnson, is a leading manufacturer and supplier of orthopedic implants and surgical devices, primarily serving the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system. This contract was not set-aside and does not appear to have any major subcontractors, as Depuy Synthes is the original equipment manufacturer for the requested products. The acquisition was initiated through a pre-solicitation notice posted on FedBizOpps, which described the government's intent to issue a brand name or equal request for quotation (RFQ) specifically for hip implants to support procedures at TAMC.
