Description

Title: Procurement of Endoscopic Equipment from Karl Storz Endoscopy-America Inc PSC Code: 6650 NAICS Code: 334516 Place of Performance: Bethesda, MD 20892, USA POTS Number: 25-007456 This is a Notice of Intent, not a Request for Quotation (RFQ). No solicitation will be issued, and no quotations will be accepted. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Perioperative Medicine, intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract to: Karl Storz Endoscopy-America Inc 2151 E Grand Avenue El Segundo, California 90245-5017 Purpose: The Department of Perioperative Medicine requires the procurement of various Karl Storz endoscopic instruments, including digital flexible cystoscopes, ENT rigid scopes, general rigid scopes, and flexible neuro-endoscopes. These devices are critical for supporting ongoing and upcoming surgical cases and are due for scheduled replacement under the Capital Equipment Replacement Cycle (CERC). The department previously upgraded its endoscopy suite to Karl Storz�s digital platform. The new scopes must be compatible with the existing Karl Storz video towers and camera systems, which are currently maintained under a preventive maintenance contract. Procuring devices from an alternate vendor would necessitate the purchase of additional camera systems and render existing support infrastructure obsolete. To ensure clinical continuity, cost-efficiency, and standardization, Karl Storz remains the only viable supplier. Required Equipment: Quantity/Catalog #/Description 1/27005AA/HOPKINS II 0� TELESCOPE, 4MM x 30CM, AUTOCLAVABLE 1/27005BA/HOPKINS II 30� TELESCOPE, 4MM x 30CM, AUTOCLAVABLE 1/27005CA/HOPKINS II 70� TELESCOPE, 4MM x 30CM, AUTOCLAVABLE 2/11272VHUK/DIGITAL FLEXIBLE VIDEO CYSTOSCOPE w/Tray, CMOS, 16FR x 37CM, CHNL: 7FR, US Deflection 210�/140� 1/091279-06/Disposable URS x1 Box � VIDEO URETERO-RENOSCOPE FLEX-XC1, 9FR x 70CM, CHNL: 3.5FR, Deflection 270�/270� 2/26046BRA/HOPKINS� STRAIGHT FWD RUBINA NIR/ICG, ENLARGED VIEW, 5MM x 29CM, AUTOCLAVABLE 2/11161CK2/FLEXIBLE NEUROENDOSCOPE, 2.8MM x 40CM, WORKING CHANNEL: 1.2MM, DEFLECTION: 170� UP / 120� DOWN 2/26046ARA/HOPKINS� 0� TELESCOPE, RUBINA, NIR/ICG ENLARGED VIEW, 5MM x 29CM, AUTOCLAVABLE Karl Storz is the sole manfacturer capable of supplying equipment that is compatible with existing NIH-owned endoscopic systems. Procuring scopes from another manufacturer would require the purchase of additional camera systems, leading to significant additional costs and disruption to clinical operations. Furthermore, the department has existing inventory of supplies and accessories designed specifically for use with Karl Storz devices. This acquisition is being processed under FAR Part 13 � Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), which authorizes sole source awards when only one source is reasonably available. As such, the competition requirements under FAR Part 6 are not applicable. Response Instructions: Interested parties who believe they can fulfill this requirement must submit a detailed capability statement addressing their ability to provide endoscopic devices that are fully compatible with the existing Karl Storz systems. Note: This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). Do not submit pricing or quotations. Only capability statements will be considered. Submission Deadline: June 12, 2025, at 2:30 PM EST Submit to: Shasheshe Goolsby Lead Contract Specialist Email: shasheshe.goolsby@nih.gov
