This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Research and Development, Regional Procurement Office East, located in Pittsburgh, PA.

The scope includes deploying one prototype system at VA Cleveland and building five additional 2nd Generation OCT system units for deployment at VA sites in Hines, IL; Durham, NC; Iowa City, IA; Montana; and Orlando, FL.
The sole source justification is based on Osavage Biomechanics' unique capabilities, prior developmental work completed under an approved Innovation Program Grant, proprietary design knowledge, and established infrastructure required for continuity of operations.
