STRYKER MV3 BARIATRIC BEDS AND COMPONENTS

Solicitation: 36C24424Q0645 Questions & Answers

Question #1:

I'm seeking clarification regarding the Authorization letter from the OEM. Given our partnerships with various medical equipment companies, notably McKesson, I wanted to confirm the procedure for authorization. Should we obtain a letter of authorization directly from McKesson, or would it be more appropriate for McKesson to facilitate a letter from Stryker confirming our authorization alongside them?

Government Response:

A letter of authorization is required from Stryker since Stryker products may not be sold by other resellers without WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION directly from Stryker. The Government must verify that the vendor is an authorized reseller able to provide new Stryker products (not grey market) and that the products will come with the full Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) warranty.
