Description of Supplies/Services: The doctor/surgeon at WBAMC is requesting a sole source purchase to Depuy Synthes for various trauma, craniomaxillofacial and legacy Synthes spinal implants & supplies for specific patient cases. This required implants and supplies are prescribed by the patients’ physician/surgeon and determined to be best suited to meet the patient’s medical, health and life-style needs.

4. Authority Cited:

xx (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

5. Reason for Authority Cited: The doctor/surgeon did not evaluate any other vendors since Depuy Synthes Sales Inc. is the only vendor that can provide specific trauma implants and surgical instruments for each unique patient case for required surgery. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), applies to this procurement because, Depuy Synthes Sales Inc. has the required item, and has confirmed they can provide the implants in time for each surgery. By awarding directly to Depuy Synthes Sales Inc, the Government has reduced liability risk, and ensures this vital item will be received in time for an increased likelihood of successful surgery, recovery, and quality of life for the patient.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A general competitive effort was 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 for this 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 surgery scheduled based on patient needs, and does not lend itself to pre-planning.

In addition, the intended contractor is the only source capable of meeting the surgeon’s requirements in a timely manner.
