JEFO

The contract solicitation SPE2D5-26-F-1308 is a justification for exception to fair opportunity (JEFO) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, specifically through its Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to procure twelve Draeger Atlan Anesthesia Systems for the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas. The acquisition is sole-source under FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) and a DOD Class Deviation, as the Draeger Atlan system is the only device capable of monitoring all five required anesthetic gases—desflurane, enflurane, halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane—while also providing electronically driven piston ventilation with precise control of inspiratory and expiratory flows independent of fresh gas flow, automated lung recruitment maneuvers, and accurate tidal volume delivery to prevent lung injury. Technical validation for this uniqueness was provided by the Emergency Care Research Institute, confirming that no other competing systems meet the minimum clinical requirements for a Level III trauma center. The underlying contract, SPE2D1-24-D-0009, remains active through July 2029, though no pricing, total contract value, unit costs, or payment details are disclosed. Place of performance is Telford, Pennsylvania, but delivery is directed to Fort Hood, Texas, with no explicit FOB terms, packaging specifications, inspection criteria, or invoicing methods provided. The solicitation lacks formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or offeror representations, consistent with its non-competitive nature, and no detailed Section L instructions, Section K certifications, or Section H special requirements beyond the technical justification are included. Point of contact for the solicitation is Shawn Carney at DLA Troop Support, with the JEFO referenced as the central supporting document.
