About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency is conducting a sole-source procurement of the Precice Nail System and Anthem Tibia Plate System for Naval Medical Center San Diego's Orthopedics Department, with a response deadline of August 4, 2026. The contracting officer intends to award a firm fixed price supply purchase order to Globus Medical North America Inc. under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial products. Delivery is required by August 12, 2026, to NMCSD in San Diego, California.
The justification centers on patient safety and clinical necessity. NMCSD currently has a patient undergoing complex orthopedic limb-lengthening procedures using the proprietary Precice Nail System, which enables remote, non-invasive bone length adjustments. Globus Medical became the exclusive manufacturer and distributor as of January 2025 following a transfer of distribution from NuVasive. Substituting an alternative system mid-treatment would require invasive surgery to remove and replace the existing implant, creating unacceptable clinical risks including infection, prolonged recovery, and procedural complications. NMCSD's orthopedic surgeons are trained specifically on this system; introducing different technology would require new training and create operational unfamiliarity that could compromise surgical precision.
Vendors wishing to challenge this sole-source determination must submit capability statements not exceeding four pages (8.5" x 11", 10-point minimum font) containing management, technical, and cost data with supporting evidence. Submissions are due by 1000 Pacific Daylight Time on August 4, 2026, to Cha-on Gordon (cha-on.p.gordon2.civ@health.mil) or Michelle Sanders (michelle.e.sanders6.civ@health.mil). Telephone requests will not be accepted.
