CatSmart Transfusion System

Added: Jan 31, 2017 7:57 pm The Regional Health Contracting Office - Pacific at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC), Hawaii, intends to make a sole source award to Terumo BCT for the purpose of CAT Smart Transfusion System and Supplies.  Currently TAMC uses the CAT model autotransfusion system.  In order to maintain compatibility with the existing system, the CATSmart continuous autotransfusion system is required.  No other product will meet TAMC's needs.  Substitution with another make or model would require additional resources (to replace existing systems) that are currently not available.  Terumo is the exclusive distributor of this product line.  The statutory authority permitting this award without providing full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 1901, as cited in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which authorizes the government to award contracts when there is only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy agency requirements. 

The NAICS code is 339112.

This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.201 and 5.203.  This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes.  Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government.  If no written responses are received by 6 February 2017; 1000 (HST), the solicitation will be issued as only one source.  All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to wendi.t.young-asao.civ@mail.mil.
