Stryker Endoscopy equipment is the most current technology available for laparoscopy and arthroscopy that has been approved here for use by the surgeons.

Include whether or not a FedBizOps announcement was made and what response, if any, was received, or include the exception under FAR 5.202 if not synopsizing. Describe whether any additional or similar requirements are anticipated in the future.

In accordance with FAR 5.202(a)(10) this brand name commercial item is authorized for resale and therefore is solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.

Competition is sought among Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business authorized resellers of Stryker Endoscopy equipment.

7. The anticipated dollar value of the proposed acquisition, including options if applicable, and a determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The Government estimates the total price for endoscopy equipment and related accessories is $203,774.91.
