Bethesda, MD 20892 USA POTS: 24-005254 Description This is a notice of intent, NOT a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will NOT be issued, and quotations will NOT be requested. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order to PMT Corporation of Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317-8200. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase electrodes and accessories for Neurosurgery from PMT.

These electrodes are needed to provide maximum electrical conductivity in the patient’s brain with multiple wiring configurations. These electrodes, referred to as intracranial strip electrodes, grid electrodes or depth electrodes allow for very precise mapping of areas causing the onset of seizures within the brain.

By identifying which areas of the brain need to be removed and those that need to be preserved, neurosurgeons can improve seizure outcomes and reduce serious permanent neurologic injuries after surgery. The proposed vendor, PMT, is the sole manufacturer of the proprietary electrodes and accessories.
