5. Reason for Authority Cited: Based on a comparison with similar products in the marketplace, the attending surgeon has determined the Solera/Vertex Surgical Spinal Implants, Grafton/MasterGraft Allograft Tissue offered by Medtronic Sofamor Danek best meets the specific patient needs for implant surgery. The surgeon is trained on the surgical procedures for using this implant. The surgery is scheduled for August and the implant can be delivered in time for surgery preparation. The Medtronic Sofamor Danek product represents a simpler product with more rapid and successful application than the products currently in use. This, in turn, translates to shorter anesthetics and lower risk for complications.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A general competitive effort is made by the surgeon and attending team throughout the requirement review process which considers the applicability of products from various sources to determine the product that best meets the needs of the patient.

This effort at the requirement definition level is not publicized on Federal Business Opportunities in accordance with FAR 5.201, but is standard industry practice. Efforts to obtain competition are not practical because this requirement is needed for the surgery scheduled in October 2016. In addition, the intended contractor is the only source capable of meeting the surgeon’s requirements prescribed for the patient.

This will be posted on ASFI to increase competition.
