Total Due USD 54,295.09

The estimated price for this requirement is $54,295.09.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Manoscan ESO Z Cath is the only type of catheter compatible with the Medtronic Manoscan system. No other brand/type of catheter will work with the Medtronic Manoscan pharyngeal manometry equipment. Without this specific brand name of catheters, the Covidien/ Given Imaging ManoScan Esophageal Manometry currently used at the medical center is non-functional; it cannot be used, rendering the equipment inoperable.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Based on the market research, three (3) SBA VetCert verified SDVOSB vendors can meet the VA’s needs.

This is a Brand Name ONLY requirement; the OEM has provided the three (3) SDVOSB vendors as authorized distributors for the Medtronic ManoScan Esophageal Catheter.
