65--Intent to Sole Source Aneurysm Clips -T2 CLIP CASE

The Department of Veterans SAO West NCO 19, Rocky Mountain Acquisition Center, 4100 E. Mississippi Avenue Suite 900, Glendale, CO 80246 intends to enter into sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source, with Mizuho America, Inc. 30057 Ahern Avenue, Union City, CA 94587 for the procurement of T2 Aneurism Clips, Clip Case, Appliers, and Remover. Mizuho's sole distributor for the items marked below is Southwest Surgical, LLC. 25645 N. 87th Street, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. This is a follow on procurement of a previous purchase by the VA for a complete set the VA purchased through sole source procurement. The Neuro aneurysm clips sugita, are used in emergency cases when a cranial aneurysm needs to have a clip placed on a vessel before it ruptures, causing intracranial pressure in the brain that can be fatal. It is urgent and compelling that this set be immediately replaced. Mizuho America INC. solely owns all proprietary rights of the system and all related instruments. VA Neuro Staff Surgeons have been using and are familiar with this product over the years and patient outcome of surgery could be affected if the brand of aneurysm clip was changed.

However, any manufacturer that determines it can meet the requirements may give written notice via e-mail to [email protected] prior to 06/23/2014 at 11:00 PM Mountain Time. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to meet the subject requirement. This information shall be provided at no cost or obligation to the Government.

If no responses are received, the Denver VA SAO West NCO 19 Rocky Mountain Acquisition Center will proceed with sole source procurement to Mizuho America through the distribution of Southwest Surgical, LLC.
