Intent to Award Sole Source - Urology Surgical Navigation System & Support FA860126Q0063
Summary
AI-generated · Jun 24, 2026Procurement for urology surgical procedures and ongoing support uses the UroNav MRI Fusion System and Ultrasound at Wright-Patterson AFB’s 88th Medical Center and will be awarded on a sole-source basis to Fortec Medical Inc. because the UroNav system is proprietary and fully compatible with the government’s existing equipment; using any other system would require new hardware and a full rework of procedures, causing delays likely exceeding one year. Fortec Medical has no authorized distributors, and market research concluded it is the only source able to meet the requirements described in the Statement of Work.
Vendors that believe they can satisfy the requirement must submit a capability statement with clear, convincing evidence of the ability to provide 100% compatible urology procedures and support services for the UroNav system currently in use. A simple capability statement will not be sufficient. Responses will be reviewed to determine if competition is possible; the government retains discretion to decide not to compete. The package includes the PWS and Sole Source Justification; submissions are due by the stated deadline via email to the contract specialist and contracting officer, using the required subject line.
Intent to Sole Source The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/PZIBA) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Fortec Medical Inc., located at 6245 Hudson Crossing PKWY, Hudson, Ohio 44236. This contract is for the procurement of urology surgical procedures utilizing the UroNav MRI Fusion System and Ultrasound for the 88th Medical Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). Extensive market research was conducted to identify potential sources. Techniques included, but were not limited to, a GSA Advantage review, Internet market research, a review of similar procurements at WPAFB, input from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and a Sources Sought notice. This research confirmed that Fortec Medical Inc. is the only source capable of meeting the Government s minimum requirements as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). The WPAFB 88th Medical Center is already equipped with and trained on the proprietary UroNav system. Utilizing any other manufacturer's system would require the acquisition of entirely new equipment and force a complete overhaul of established medical procedures, resulting in significant operational delays estimated to exceed one year. Because the UroNav MRI Fusion System and its corresponding software are proprietary to Fortec Medical Inc., they are the only source that can provide a system that is compatible with the Government's existing infrastructure and procedural framework. Fortec Medical Inc. does not have any authorized distributors for its equipment. This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." A Justification and Approval for other than full and open competition has been prepared in accordance with RFO 6.104-1, citing the proprietary nature of the required equipment and services. Submission Instructions and Points of Contact: Interested parties who believe they can satisfy the requirements must provide a capability statement with clear and convincing evidence of their ability to do so. The statement must demonstrate the vendor's capability to provide the urology surgical procedures and support services that are 100% compatible with the proprietary UroNav MRI Fusion System and Ultrasound equipment currently in use at the 88th Medical Center. A simple statement of capability is not sufficient. All responses, questions, and capability statements shall be submitted via email to the following points of contact no later than June 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
