Notice of Intent:

The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with MedOne Surgical, Inc. 630670 Tallevast Road, Sarasota, FL 34243 USA for the purchase of surgical supplies to be used in ophthalmic procedures.

Background and Justification:

The National Institutes of Health, National Eye Institute intends to purchase customized surgical supplies. Our surgical team plays a critical role in meeting project deadlines. We have timed procedures that require the use of various human grade-disposable surgical supplies; any delay in ordering and receiving the needed supplies would impact the study tremendously. Therefore, a large order is needed, to ensure study continuation for the rest of the FY 2022. MedOne Surgical is the sole manufacturer and only known source for the customized surgical supplies. Program is requesting sole source as some of the items must be ‘customized’ for NEI.

MedOne develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes high-quality specialty surgical products worldwide. Our focus is on products for vitreoretinal surgery as well as special instrumentation for neurotology and skull base surgery.
