David Grant Medical Center (DGMC) on Travis AFB,CA has a requirement for a Censitrac Surgical Instrument Tracking System provided by Censis Technologies. Contractor shall provide subscription services and perform end user support.

Capabilities to maintain this system beyond basic troubleshooting and minor fixes and to perform the requested work do not exist in-house to due to the complexity and proprietary nature of the system. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) support is required for this level of service.

Censis Technologies is the manufacturer of the current in-use proprietary hardware for the Tracking System. Multiple companies can provide this tracking system but resources had already been previously allocated to purchase the specific hardware from Censis and as such we are required to use them for these subscription services. Access to proprietary system software is required to properly maintain the system.

The Operating Room Flight/SGCS contacted the company's tech support line to verify if the company trains and/or authorizes any third parties the necessary level of system access in order to complete the required services. According to the representatives, the company does not train any third parties in the delivery of the requested services.

The Operating Room Flight/SGCS discussed OEM-authorized third-party services for this system with the manufacturer's support representatives. The manufacturer does not train any third parties nor does it grant general software access or administrator-level control as required to perform the requested work due to the proprietary nature of system. Online research did not present any additional sources capable of meeting the government's requirement.

The Operating Room Flight/SGCS continues to research and evaluate other companies to determine if they are capable of meeting the government's requirement prior to requesting services as single source or brand name requirements.

There are no other known sources capable of providing the requested service at this time.
