for U.S. based vendors of transcutaneous CO2 monitors and contacted L1 Enterprises Inc., GE Healthcare, Masimo Americas Inc., US Med Equip LLC, and Nonin Medical. Provista was found to be unregistered in SAM.gov, and both CommonSpirit Health and RT Respiratory Therapy provide services rather than equipment sales. L1 Enterprises and Nonin both confirmed they do not carry a product that meets the requirement. On 2/19, Thomasnet was searched using terms such as “Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring System,” “Made in the USA,” “Thomas Registered,” and “Distributor/Manufacturer,” which produced one result for an alarm and remote wireless monitoring system, but not for the required device. On 3/04, the CS sent follow up and received no response from GE Healthcare, Masimo Americas Inc., or US Med Equip LLC. Given the market research conducted, there are no known Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Systems available for sale within the United States, outside of the Sentec Inc. There are also no authorized distributors of Sentec tCOM+ Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide (tcPCO ) Monitoring Systems and accessories, apart from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) – Sentec, Inc. All email correspondence has been uploaded to the eCMS briefcase. This procurement will require a nonavailability waiver due to the item not being compliant with the Buy American Act.
