7A21--Orthoview License and Maintenance Services - Notice of Intent to Sole Source

This government file details a sole-source justification for acquiring OrthoView digital pre-operative planning software for the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. The software, designed for orthopedic surgeons, enhances precision, efficiency, and cost reduction in Total Joint Replacement procedures. OrthoView's compatibility with the existing PACS system and its automation features are critical for reducing planning and surgery times, increasing operating room capacity, and improving veteran care. Materialise USA LLC is the sole provider due to proprietary licensing. Market research found no alternative vendors or authorized resellers, confirming that OrthoView is the only solution that meets the VA's specific requirements, avoiding inconsistencies, training issues, and non-compliance risks associated with other brands. The estimated delivery date is March 24, 2026.
