3. Description of Supplies/Services: Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) has a requirement to purchase cervical surgical supplies for surgical procedures scheduled from 21 May 2019 through 30 November 2019 with Dr. Andrew Cleveland. Items used during these surgical procedures are not to exceed the total amount requested of $249,000.00. Contracting assigned internal controls FB19- 0023 to meet Doctor prescribed surgery scheduled for tomorrow – this requirement is considered to be urgent “03” requirement to meet patient needs.

4. Authority Cited:

(a) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i): Only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreement, brand name or industrial mobilization); OR

(b) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii): Only one source can provide a portion of the purchase that is a particular brand-name item; OR

(c) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; OR

(d) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; OR

(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: Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) has a requirement to purchase cervical surgical supplies for surgical procedures scheduled from 21 May 2019 through 30 November 2019 with Dr. Andrew Cleveland. The Seaspine Shoreline Anterior Cervical Standalone System is designed to deliver maximum flexibility and modularity, offering zero- and low-profile plating options, including two, three and four hole variations, as well as 10 and 15 degree lordotic implants.

This selection provides surgeons the ability to intraoperatively address a wide range of anatomy, surgical situations or bone. In addition, TruProfile technology offers a low profile plate design at 1.6mm thickness, minimizing the profile on the anterior aspect of the spine and minimizing cephalad caudal encroachment of adjacent segments. These products cannot be purchased ahead of time due to the large amount of stock required to have on hand for each procedure. It would not be possible to determine what sizes will be required for purchase prior to the patient being on the operating room table as the surgeon looks at the patients anatomy intraoperatively. Size is always determined this way to ensure the best fit for the patient. Failure to provide the needed supplies for these surgeries will result in diminished healthcare for the patients.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Sources sought will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website for increased competition.
