Brand name only olympus scopes

This solicitation seeks quotes for various Olympus brand medical scopes to be used in medical and surgical departments at facilities operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 in North Carolina. Quotes are due by February 17, 2022 and must include manufacturer part numbers, local stock numbers, unit prices, and OEM names using the attached price schedule template. Award will be made to the responsible offeror providing the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote that does not exceed available funding.

This requirement has been set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business sole source procurement. The justification document identifies Alliant Healthcare Products as the verified SDVOSB distributor authorized by Olympus to supply the scopes, with an anticipated award value of $4,954,098.66 for delivery in February 2022. As the original equipment manufacturer has designated Alliant as the sole authorized distributor, and market research found no other qualified sources, the justification argues the requirements of 38 U.S.C. 8127(c) are met to make this noncompetitive award.
