What the notice says
1.GENERAL: James A. Haley Veterans Hospital, located at 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd, Tampa, Florida33612, requires one (1) surgical microscope for the Otolaryngology clinic. 2.BACKGROUND: Currently, the only surgical microscope on site that meets the clinic's needs is the Zeiss Kinevo surgical microscope, predominantly used by the Neurosurgical section. With the Otolaryngology section now performing microvascular reconstructions, they and the Neurosurgical section have been sharing the Kinevo microscope. This sharing has led to multiple scheduling conflicts and has caused delays in surgical care… (show all)
or the need to send Veterans to community care due to prolonged wait times. Purchasing the Pentero microscope will provide necessary redundancy in the facility s microscope capabilities when the Kinevo microscope is under repair, a recurring issue over the last few years. None of the other current surgical microscopes on site are optimal alternatives for either Neurosurgical or Otolaryngology reconstructive use.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
