Justification of Sole Source Acquisition from Stryker/Howmedica

The City of Clermont is seeking information to verify whether the specifications for Stryker/Howmedica's EMS equipment and related systems can be met by more than one company. The city is considering a sole source acquisition from Stryker/Howmedica due to their proprietary products and lack of authorized third-party vendors. The estimated annual expenditure is $300,000.00. * The city is looking for information on whether other companies can provide the same or equivalent product or service. * The sole source justification is based on Stryker being the sole manufacturer and authorized provider of the specified EMS and clinical equipment, software, and services in the United States. * Respondents are invited to submit information demonstrating their company's ability to provide the same or equivalent product or service, without providing pricing information.
