    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC), intends to award a sole source contract to TSE Systems, Inc. for the procurement of Stellar Implantable Transmitters, specifically designed for use in rat models to measure blood pressure, temperature, and activity. These specialized devices must be compatible with existing TSE telemetry receivers and are critical for conducting a funded study on aircraft deicing fluid toxicity, enabling longitudinal data collection on arterial blood pressure. Interested vendors must be registered with the Systems for Award Management (SAM) and possess a Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI) to be eligible for the contract. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Nataki Johnson Lovett at nataki.s.johnsonlovett.civ@health.mil or Michael Ponczek at michael.ponczek@us.af.mil.

    4.2 Sole Source Justification Form-TSE Systems KO signed 12.23.25.pdf
    The Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) in Silver Spring, MD, on behalf of the Navy, issued a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition to acquire intravascular telemetric blood pressure transducers for Navy Expeditionary Medical Research. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, identifying TSE Systems as the sole source. The transducers are necessary for a funded study on aircraft deicing fluid toxicity, enabling longitudinal collection of arterial blood pressure in rat models. The required telemeters must be compatible with an existing TSE Stellar telemetry receiver, appropriately sized for rats, capable of sampling blood pressure at over 500 Hz, and have a battery life exceeding three months. Market research confirmed that TSE Systems is the exclusive worldwide supplier of compatible telemeters. The contracting officer will ensure the cost is fair and reasonable through price analysis and anticipates a discounted price. The NMRC has no current plans to compete future contracts for these specific supplies due to the sole-source nature, but will assess competition feasibility if other sources emerge.
