In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and on behalf of the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 9 intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with HeartMath LLC, located at 14700 W Park Ave., Boulder Creek, CA, 95006.

The basis for the sole source acquisition is that HeartMath is the only responsible source that can provide training, certification, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware and parts for the HeartMath heart-rate management solution in place at TVHS. This acquisition is anticipated to take place on or about June 6, 2021.

The intended procurement will be classified under North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) 339112 with a small business size standard of 1000 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for offers. However, all responsible sources may submit a capabilities statement, in addition to a letter directly from HeartMath confirming the ability to perform this requirement, that proves by the preponderance of the evidence that the products, training, and certification offered will seamlessly integrate with the HeartMath hardware and efforts already in place.

The letter from the manufacture shall state that the contractor is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized dealer, authorized distributor or authorized reseller for the proposed equipment. All software licensing, warranty and service associated with the equipment/system shall be in accordance with the OEM terms and conditions.

Capability statements received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the government.

A determination by the government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
