This procurement will not be competed because the aforementioned Cryocath Ablation System does not have an alternative or replacement therefore, it is currently the only system in the market that eliminates risk of permanent heart block that exists when performing certain intra-cardiac ablation procedures. Also, it is going to be used in conjunction with the Carto EP Lab System during the cardia ablations at the WPAFB Medical Center.

The Government will award a contract to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Technical Capability and Price will be used to evaluate all offers.
