Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 19, is pursuing a sole-source procurement for Stryker orthopedic and podiatry instrument sets for use at the RMR VAMC. The requirement covers one each of several Stryker systems, including Alpha GT, PLFT20 ORIF instruments and screws, PSF T8 T15 ORIF instruments and screws, ASNIS 65 80 instruments and short screws, Omega Hip instruments and screws, and Infinity Adaptis Total Ankle.
