65--Hand Tray Kit

DESCRIPTION: The NF/SG Veterans Healthcare System, Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center, 1601 SW Archer Road, Gainesville, FL 32608 intends to negotiate with Tornier Inc, on a sole source basis pursuant to VAAR 873 & 38 USC 8153 and FAR 6.302-1 for the DVO Solutions Hand Tray Kit (DVO-101). The Cover Loc technology allows fragments to be lagged to the plate for greater construct stability and allows screw placement at pre-determined anatomic angles. The optimized plate profile enables maximum distal placement of the plate to buttress volar-ulnar fragments without stuffing the compartment. The optimized plate profile includes an anatomic volar tilt angle that allows for a more distal placement of the plate. With the raised ulnar portion of the plate the difficult volar-ulnar fragments are more easily buttressed and the tapered distal lip avoids overstuffing the compartment. The distal and proximal holes are arranged to provide optimal subchondral bone support while also providing a secure interlocking basket effect. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number is 339112. This notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals.
