    The Department of Veterans Affairs Albany VAMC intends to award a sole source contract to Arthrex, INC. for a VIP Glenoid Reaming System Set. This notice, 36C24226Q0182, is an intent to award and not a request for quotes, with a response date of December 12, 2025. The system is crucial for orthopedic surgical procedures, specifically total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty, at the Albany VA Medical Center. It is required to maintain patient care continuity, ensure compatibility with existing Arthrex implants, and meet surgical standards. The Arthrex Glenoid Reamer System is the only instrument set compatible with the facility's current Arthrex implant systems, enabling precise glenoid surface preparation for accurate implant placement and long-term surgical success. Without it, surgeons cannot safely perform procedures with existing inventory. The VIP Glenoid Targeter aids in executing preoperative virtual plans for glenoid component placement. The contract is supported by a Single Source Justification document.
    P03-Single Source Justification MPT to SAT Glenoid Reamer.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 2 Albany Stratton VHA Medical Center, requires a single-source justification for acquiring an Arthrex Glenoid Reamer System. This system, estimated at $19,104.16, is crucial for orthopedic shoulder surgical procedures, ensuring compatibility with existing Arthrex implants and maintaining patient care continuity. The VIP system uses proprietary software and patented Arthrex hardware for precise glenoid surface preparation, which is essential for implant placement and surgical success. Market research confirmed no equivalent or substitute products offer the same compatibility and integration with the VA Albany VAMC's existing Arthrex surgical platforms. Searches on GSA, FPDS, and SBA for similar systems yielded no compatible alternatives, reinforcing the need for a single-source award to Arthrex.
