AI Contract Overview

The contract pertains to the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) within the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), requiring procurement assistance for a software update to the Benson CCA-200 Audiometer. This update is necessary to ensure compliance with current Department of Defense (DoD) password-length and complexity requirements. The audiometer is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product originally selected through full and open competition in 2007, and the software is proprietary to Benson Medical Instruments, Inc., which is the only authorized entity capable of making modifications. The procurement will be conducted as a sole source acquisition under the authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for contracting without full and open competition when only one source is able to meet the requirements. The DoD invites any other capable firms to submit evidence within 15 calendar days to challenge the sole source determination, though the government retains full discretion to proceed with sole source if no viable alternatives are presented. If no responses are received, the contract will be awarded directly to Benson Medical Instruments, Inc.

Full Description

The Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) of the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) has a requirement to request procurement assistance in obtaining services classified as OCI Category 3 Product Support via a Sole Source acquisition. The statutory permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies and Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The software provided with the Benson CCA-200 Audiometer is proprietary to Benson Medical Instruments, and can only be modified by Benson Medical Instruments Inc. When the Benson CCA-200 Audiometers were purchased, a full and open competition on the commercial market was held for that effort. The Benson CCA-200 Audiometer is a commercial off-the shelf (COTS) product. The audiometer was selected in an openly competed contract in 2007. The current procurement effort is a software change that is required to meet Department of Defense (DoD) password-length requirements. As this COTS product was selected for the DoD, and the COTS product is produced by Benson Medical Instruments, Inc., the DoD will need to contract with Benson Medical Instruments, Inc. to provide this update. Any firm that believes it can provide the services required is invited to submit a written notification to the Contracting Officer within 15 calendar days from the date of this publication of this notice. Supporting evidence must be provided in sufficient detail to demonstrate the firms ability to provide these services. Information must be sent to Ms. Jennifer Dunlap via e-mail utilizing MS Word or .PDF File at contact@example.gov . No telephone requests will be accepted. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, USAMRAA will proceed with the sole source Contract.
