As such Surgeries are being cancelled rescheduled as the current inventory of saws is insufficient to service the demand of surgical cases.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for this requirement is Stryker who is considered Other Than Small Business (OTSB) Per System for Award Management (Sam.gov) Reps & Certs.
