J&J/Ethicon Biosurgery products and related items

Stony Brook University Hospital and Stony Brook Southampton are seeking to procure J&J/Ethicon Biosurgery products and related medical items through a procurement process authorized under section 163(3)(vi) of New York State law. The procurement allows for purchasing commodities from a consortium without a formal competitive process when pricing can be justified. Vendors selling equivalent J&J/Ethicon Biosurgery products are invited to contact the designated procurement officer to discuss the opportunity. The contract term is concurrent with the Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contract period from January 1, 2019, to May 14, 2020, with potential extension if contract RX86100 is extended. Proposals must be submitted by close of business on February 12, 2019, to the specified locations at Stony Brook Hospital Receiving (101 Nichols Rd, Stony Brook) and Stony Brook Southampton Hospital (240 Meeting House Ln, Southampton). Successful contractors will be required to complete and submit multiple compliance documents, including Vendor Responsibility forms, NYS Finance Law 139 documentation, NYS Tax Law Section 5-a paperwork, and current NYS Workers' Compensation and Disability Forms.

The procurement opportunity has no specific set-aside designations for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Minority-Owned, or Women-Owned businesses, with all associated contracting goals set at 0%. The solicitation is subject to NYS Finance Law 139 j&k (Lobbying Law), which strictly limits vendor communication to the designated procurement officer and imposes potential penalties ranging from contract disqualification to debarment from New York State agency sales. The procurement covers Suffolk County, specifically targeting Stony Brook and Southampton hospital locations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement is tied to an existing GPO contract, suggesting predetermined pricing structures. Vendors must adhere to strict communication protocols and comprehensive documentation requirements to be considered for the contract, which appears focused on medical biosurgery products and related medical items for hospital use.
