The Quadra Assura ICD device is implanted under the skin in the upper chest area with connecting insulated wires called leads that go into the heart.

Control Number: 19-RHCO-C-

(e) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: The Abbott QuadraAssura CRT-D has MRI compatibility features that only operate against existing Government-owned equipment. This allows physician’s additional options of leverage when managing patient care. QuadraAssura offers MultiPoint pacing and SyncAV technology to provide additional options for CRT patients who are not responsive to traditional cardiac resynchronization therapy. BPA solicitation, W81K0018T0080, was competed on FBO as an unrestricted procurement. Quotes were received from Abbott, Biotronik, and Boston Scientific. BPAs were issued as follows: W81K0018A0004 (Abbott), W81K0018A0005 (Biotronik) andW81K0018A0006 (Boston Scientific) for cardiac supplies and equipment. No small business responded to this requirement. This BPA call is for Abbott cardiac supplies and equipment. Based on the proprietary nature of each of the three companies with BPAs, no other company offers Abbott compatible products and therefore a sole source BPA call is necessary.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: When the current BPA expires, every effort shall be made to increase competition. Regional Health Contracting Office — Central will continue to evaluate the capabilities of other vendor's products and re-procure the equipment that provides the best value to the Government.

7. Market Survey: Market research was conducted and found no new businesses that could support this requirement.

8. Procurement History:
