65 -- Hospital Supply Division

The contract, identified as SPE2DH-22-D-0005, is a sole-source acquisition under the ECAT multiple award program administered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Hospital Supply Division, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is justified under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) due to the unique and specialized nature of the Carl Zeiss MV VISUMAX 600/800 laser eye surgery system, which is the only equipment available that meets all mandatory technical requirements, including energy delivery under 200 nanojoules per pulse, a pulse rate of at least 2 megahertz, pulse duration under 600 femtoseconds, automatic treatment pattern recalibration, computer-controlled alignment to identify pupil center and corneal vertex, a footprint less than 20 square feet, and the capability to perform lenticule extraction procedures. No alternative vendors exist that satisfy these clinical and technical specifications, making competition impossible and necessitating a sole-source award based on best value under FAR 8.404(d). The system is intended for deployment at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to replace outdated equipment and enhance surgical precision and patient recovery outcomes. The contract has a validity period through February 14, 2027, with no identified start date or delivery schedule specified. While the official place of performance is listed as Philadelphia, PA, the end-use location is Fort Campbell, KY, though delivery logistics including FOB terms and shipping responsibility are not detailed. Pricing information is absent from all documentation, preventing determination of contract value, and no CLIN or SLIN structure with unit costs is provided. Inspection and acceptance are the responsibility of the Government at the destination site in Fort Campbell, using the established technical criteria as the sole basis for compliance. No standard FAR 52.2 clauses, packaging requirements, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or payment details are included in the documentation. The contracting office points of contact are Evan Lessin and Evan Heebner, with no designated COR, COTR, or PCO named. The acquisition lacks any formal evaluation factors beyond the mandatory technical thresholds, and there are no offeror representations, certifications, socioeconomic designations, or attachment lists included, as the procurement is a direct justification under existing ECAT authorities rather than a competitive solicitation.
