The objective of this solicitation is to establish a Fixed Price (with Economic Price Adjustment) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract with KLS Martin for their Cranial and Maxillofacial "procedural sets". The "procedural sets" include the following product mix: implants, instruments, auxiliary products, biological products including distraction devices, biomaterials, power systems, sternal products, and threadlock device systems.  The product mix that makes up the "procedural set" varies based on the individual needs of the patient.
