Depuy Synthes Total Hip Arthroplasty System
The Regional Health Contracting Office - Pacific at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC), Hawaii, intends to make a sole source award to Depuy Synthes for the urgent purpose of obtaining Total Hip Arthroplasty System. The physician requesting the supplies has verified the need for this brand name system to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. Therefore, these surgical implants are the only ones that can meet the Government's current need. Depuy Synthes is the sole provider of these surgical implants. The authority permitting this award without providing full and open competition is cited in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) which authorizes the government to award contracts when there is only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreement, brand name or industrial mobilization).
