The contract, identified by solicitation number SPE2D1-24-F-0145 and referenced under existing contract SPE2D1-17-D-0015, is a sole-source justification for the upgrade of a General Electric MR750W MRI system at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with an estimated value of $1,872,709.92. The procurement is justified under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) due to the technical uniqueness of the upgrade, which requires exclusive participation by GE as the original equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility with proprietary hardware and software, continuity of warranty, and compliance with Department of Defense cybersecurity standards necessary to maintain Authority to Operate on DoD networks. The scope includes replacing obsolete components and upgrading the operating system to a current Linux configuration while retaining the existing magnet, which has a 20-year lifespan, thereby extending the system’s operational life without full replacement. Work is performed at the GE facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with final acceptance occurring at Fort Campbell, where the upgraded system will remain in service. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing line items, or award criteria are established, as the procurement is non-competitive based on the unique technical constraints and proprietary nature of the system. The contracting activity is DLA Troop Support’s Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Shawn Carney as the primary point of contact. The contract is effective through February 17, 2027, and no option periods, delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or formal inspection checklists are defined. Cybersecurity compliance, warranty preservation, and system performance metrics related to image quality, scan speed, and patient comfort are the primary drivers of acceptance. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information from the offeror are included, and no detailed payment instructions, accounting codes, or invoicing methods are provided.
