Optotrak Certus

Added: Sep 23, 2013 4:07 pm Under Statutory Authority § 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) the Government anticipates entering into sole source procurement negotiations with Northern Digital, Inc. of Waterloo, ON, for one Optotrak Certus motion capture system for the Edward Hines VA Hospital, 5000 S 5th Ave., Hines, IL 60141-1457. The above authority is cited and justification made based on the determination that the Government's minimum needs can best be satisfied by supplies available from one source. The VA has a requirement for this specific motion capture system due to interfacing compatibility requirements. This announcement is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 13.106-1(b). Other persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by September 26, 2013, 4:00 PM CST. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interest received on or before September 26, 2013 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation document is available.
