Redacted J&A for Depuy Synthes Mitek Solicitation

This solicitation from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical seeks orthopedic procedural packages from DePuy Synthes Mitek Surgical. As the current sole-source provider, DePuy Synthes Mitek is the only company that can meet the agency's requirements to provide complete turnkey procedural packages including all necessary implants, instruments, and on-site technical support for orthopedic surgeries. Questions regarding this solicitation are due by June 28, 2021.

No set-aside will be used for this procurement. As the current orthopedic marketplace consists mainly of proprietary product lines, the physicians will consistently use the products they are most familiar with from previous training with DePuy Synthes Mitek. The company representatives also provide on-site technical support before, during, and after surgeries as requested across military medical facilities. Due to DePuy Synthes Mitek being the only responsible source able to meet the agency's need for standardization across product lines, complete procedural packages, and integrated technical support services, this sole-source award is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) authority.
