Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source to O.R. Elder Inc. for Alcon Centurion handpieces/upgrade kit at Tripler Army Medical Center (DHA).

Access is effectively closed: sole-source to named distributor; only potential action is a low-probability challenge via capability statement by the deadline.

Dimension scores
Total
- 2/100
Technical Fit
- 1/20
Requirement is procurement and installation of Alcon Centurion surgical handpieces and an upgrade kit (PSC 6515) under NAICS 339112. Trace’s core capabilities are SATCOM, CDS, MPE/coalition C2, edge computing, IT O&M, and SE&I—no medical device manufacturing/distribution or surgical equipment integration noted in the company profile.
Past Performance
- 0/20
Trace past performance centers on DISA MPE-S, Army FSR, USAF comms, Space Force EMSS EPCC, ABMS, MDA SHIELD, etc. No DHA medical equipment or similar surgical device supply/installation past performance is listed.
Vehicles / Contract Access
- 0/10
This is a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source to O.R. Elder Inc.; not competed and not on a Trace-held vehicle. Access is restricted to the named distributor; others may only submit a capability statement to challenge.
Competitive Position
- 0/15
The Government states O.R. Elder Inc. is the sole Government distributor for Alcon equipment and the only source that can meet the requirement. No Trace differentiator applies; Trace is not positioned in medical device distribution.
Risk
- 1/15
Very high pursuit risk: sole-source to a named distributor, NAICS misalignment, and likely compliance disqualifiers. Only a challenge window exists with low likelihood of overturning the sole source.
Strategic Value
- 0/10
One-off medical device purchase within DHA outside Trace’s strategic lanes; minimal pathway to strategic growth or core capability expansion.
Compliance
- 0/10
NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and the notice asserts only O.R. Elder can meet the requirement as sole Government distributor for Alcon. Trace lacks any stated authorization or relevant certifications/clearances for medical device supply/installation; likely disqualified.
Concerns
- Sole-source to O.R. Elder Inc.; competition effectively closed.
- NAICS 339112 and PSC 6515 outside Trace’s core capability areas.
- Lack of documented authorization to distribute/install Alcon equipment.
- Low probability of success via a challenge within short timeline.
Teaming opportunities
- Authorized Alcon distributor relationship (not in profile).
- Medical device installation and preventive maintenance capability specific to Alcon Centurion systems.
- Local medical device technicians for on-site work at Tripler AMC, HI.
Competitive position
- Not applicable—opportunity is a sole-source to a named distributor with no evident Trace differentiators.
Bid/No bid factors
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source identifies O.R. Elder Inc. as only source.
- NAICS 339112 (medical device manufacturing) misaligned with Trace’s core lanes.
- No attachments; only metadata available for review, limiting further validation.
