    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Medical Research Center, is seeking to procure Notocord-HEM software, which is essential for operating a TSE-System Stellar Telemetry receiver that is currently inoperable due to the absence of a required software license. This software is critical for communicating with 16 implanted TSE telemeters, managing telemetry implants, and ensuring compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, thereby supporting Navy Expeditionary Medical Research operations. The acquisition is justified as a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as Instem is the only responsible source for this software in the U.S., and a price analysis will be conducted to ensure fair pricing. Interested parties can reach out to Deborah Sharpe at deborah.m.sharpe2.civ@health.mil or Michael Ponczek at michael.ponczek@us.af.mil for further details.

    4.2 Sole Source Justification Form FY25_Notocord (Instem).pdf
    The Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) is executing a justification for a sole-source acquisition to procure Notocord-HEM software necessary for operating a TSE-System Stellar Telemetry receiver, which is currently inoperable due to a lack of a required software license. This software allows for the communication and management of telemetry implants and supports operations in Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) environments, making it essential for Navy Expeditionary Medical Research. The acquisition falls under the statutory exceptions permitting other than full and open competition, specifically under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as there is only one responsible source, Instem, which develops and supplies the software without any distributors in the U.S. Market research indicated that Notocord-HEM is the only software that meets regulatory requirements for GLP. A price analysis will be conducted to ensure that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, with expectations of achieving a discount from commercial pricing. The NMRC does not plan to remove the sole-source designation or pursue future competition for this acquisition unless new sources emerge. The document includes certifications from key personnel affirming its accuracy and compliance.
