2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The estimated value of the proposed action is

The VA Northern California Healthcare System requires replacements and additions for its Consolidated Operating Room Equipment (CORE) Console and accompanying tools/accessories in the Martinez Surgical Department. This includes surgical tools such as drills, saws, and various attachments used for different types of orthopedic surgeries where bone needs to be cut, shaved, or shaped.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The VA Northern California Health Care System are requesting Brand Name Only, Stryker Drills and other associated equipment. Stryker offers the only surgical power tools that are compatible with existing OR tools and consolidated operating room equipment (CORE) console. Because all tools are connected to the CORE console, they must all be the Stryker brand. Surgeons and other medical technicians have been trained using Stryker brand name technology, which adds to the justification to purchase from this source. Stryker is the sole manufacturer of the consolidated operating room equipment technology used in the Martinez OR at VANCHCS. The existing version of this technology is end of life/support and must be replaced so that medical equipment can be maintained properly and used safely. In order maintain compatibility with the existing Stryker surgical tools in the operating room, Stryker brand name products must be purchased.

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

The subject matter expert requesting these items searched other brand-name technology and found Stryker products to be the choice equipment for this application.
