7. Market Survey: A search of the Federal Supply Schedules using keyword of “Stryker” did NOT provide any vendors for repair services but did provide schedules for new Stryker equipment. A search of the internet (Google) using the keywords “Stryker” and “maintenance” did show other possible vendors but none showed that they could provide OEM parts. A search of the Small Business Administration’s Dynamic Small Business Search was conducted using the keyword of “Stryker” and the NAICS 811219, did show three possible vendors. Of those three companies, only one has the ability to repair Stryker instruments, but may not have access to OEM parts.
