This document contains a justification for other than full and open competition for a federal contract. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a firm-fixed price sole source contract to Premier Shockwave, Inc. to provide an OssaTron medical device, consumables, and technician for orthopedic and podiatry clinics. The OssaTron device is the only FDA-approved high-energy electro-hydraulic extracorporeal shockwave device that can treat chronic plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, and other tendinopathies. The estimated annual contract value is $194,000 and includes option years over a five year period to provide treatments for 94 bilateral and 98 unilateral procedures. Premier Shockwave, Inc. is identified as the only responsible source because they own 70 of the 72 OssaTron devices legally brought into the United States, with the original manufacturer bankrupt in 2005 and no comparable devices currently produced.
