6515--intent to sole source aliya electrode (5 pack)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Galvanize Therapeutics INC for Aliya Electrodes (5 Pack). The contract is specifically for the Asheville VA Medical Center located in North Carolina, where the electrodes will be used with an existing Aliya System in their operating room. The procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. This notice is being published under the authority of FAR 8.405.6 for procurement from only one source. The specific product to be procured is identified by part number GTI-00024, which is a 5-pack of Aliya Electrodes.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about the VA's intention to sole-source the electrode procurement to Galvanize Therapeutics INC. Interested parties are invited to identify their capability to respond to the requirement, though the notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive quotations. All inquiries and submissions must be sent via email to Kenneca Crump, the Contracting Specialist, by December 31, 2024. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement based on any responses received. Potential contractors should note that no telephone inquiries will be accepted, and the government will not be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses. The procurement is for a firm-fixed-price, single source delivery order to obtain the specific Aliya Electrodes for use with the existing Aliya System at the medical center, with the government maintaining complete decision-making authority on the final procurement approach.
