Transaction Number: 678-26-2-042-0001 2.Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The VA Tucson Healthcare System is requesting three Universal Broken Stripped Screw Removal System Sets as replacements, due to the fact that the current units are broken. The S9MAXI Large Bone Screw Set, the S9Screw Removal Screw Set and the S9Nail-BR set, are Orthopedic tray kits used during surgery for the purpose of removing various types of broken or damaged screws that have become embedded in the tissue or bones of Veteran patients. The items requested are part of the Shukla Trauma-All-In-One System and assist in the prevention of further orthopedic complications. Estimated amount: $57,200.00 3.Unique characteristics or circumstances that limit the requirement to Brand Name Only commodities. The Orthopedic surgical department at VA Tucson currently uses the Trauma-All-In-One System and the S9MAXI, S9SCREW and S9NAIL-BR sets will replace the broken sets. The purchase of these commodities will be integrated into the existing sets and be immediately available for surgical use, as this system incorporates uniquely design specifications for that purpose. There are no other brands that can be used in conjunction with or attached to the current Trauma instrumentation system which will meet the surgeon s needs during orthopedic and spinal surgeries. 4.Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: No other manufacturers products can satisfy the Government s request. VA Tucson Orthopedic department has existing systems already in use that require additional compatible instrument sets from the same manufacture. Procuring a different extraction system from an alternate brand will not provide the capabilities of compatibility and will require the replacement of the entire Trauma-All-In-One System and other components currently being used. Based on market research and current procurement knowledge, SS White Technologies Inc, dba Shukla Medical remains the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency s requirement at a fair and reasonable price. 5.Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted using DSBS, SAM, GSA, FPDS and the internet.
