Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Justification to Restrict Competition, indicating that the government intends to sole-source the procurement of a specific brand-name item. It explains the rationale for limiting competition to a single source.

• Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, Navajo Area, Gallup Service Unit.
• Sole Source: Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc. (Zeiss Humphrey).
• Supplies/Services: Procurement, delivery, installation, and support of one (1) Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer system (HFA3 Model 860) for the Gallup Indian Medical Center (GIMC) Eye Clinic.
• System Use: To diagnose and monitor patients with vision-threatening conditions.
• Contractor Responsibilities: Includes delivery, installation, system calibration, validation, on-site training, integration with IHS RPMS/VistA/Cerner systems, and warranty/maintenance support.
• Delivery Timeline: Approximately 45 calendar days for delivery, with installation and training completed within 10 business days after delivery.
• Justification: The Zeiss Humphrey system is the only one that provides proprietary SITA testing algorithms, Guided Progression Analysis (GPA), full DICOM compatibility with seamless integration with IHS systems, and advanced eye tracking features. Alternatives would require significant middleware, third-party integration, or result in diminished diagnostic accuracy and increased implementation risk. The current system is at end-of-life, necessitating timely procurement.

This document signals a sole-source procurement, meaning that direct competition is not expected. Vendors who do not offer the specified brand-name product or cannot meet the unique technical and integration requirements may not be eligible to bid on this specific opportunity as currently defined.

• Termination: Defines the term of the agreement, termination for cause, obligations upon termination (including returning or destroying PHI), and survival of obligations.
• Indemnification: Requires the Business Associate to reimburse the Covered Entity for costs related to investigations or legal actions arising from non-compliance with HIPAA Rules.
