Limited Source Justification – FAR Part 8

1. Contracting Activity: Fort Hood Health Contracting Branch, (FHHCB), Fort Hood, Texas, 76544-4752.

2. Description of Action: This requirement is for a new firm fixed price contract. Funds to be used are FY 25 Defense Health Program (DHP) funds.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: InBody 770 Body Composition Analyzer for Raymond W.

Bliss Army Health Center (RWBAHC), Fort Huachuca, AZ 85613

4. Authority Cited: "41 United States Code 4106(c) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements".

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

a. FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.

b. Army Directive 2023-11, Army Body Fat Assessment for the Army Body Composition Program, implements modifications to the Army Body Composition Program (AR 600-9) allowing Soldiers to request and utilize supplementary methods to assess body fat. These supplemental methods include the use of the Dual Energy X-Ray Absortiometry (DXA), Air Displacement Plethysmography (BodPod), or the InBody 770 (Biolectrical Impedance Analysis).

c. Currently, the Army Family Wellness Center (AFWC) as the BodPod which is the only supplemental method available on Fort Huachuca. The AFWC also has an InBody 270, which has exceeded its life expectancy and is not authorized per AR 600-9 for use in providing a supplemental body composition assessment. The InBody 770 will allow the AFWC to provide a second option to assess and assist Soldiers with meeting body composition standards per AR 600-9. In addition, the availability of the Inbody 770 will allow the AFWC to meet the increased demand of Soldiers requesting supplemental body composition analysis.

d. The InBody 770 (Biolectrical Impedance Analysis) is one of three Dept of the Army approved supplementary methods to assess body fat authorized per Army Directive 2023- 11, and Army Body Fat Assessment for the Army Body Composition Program.

e. Biospace, Inc. DBA InBody USA is the sole Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the InBody 770 Body Composition Analyzer and has no third-party vendors per sole source letter dated 05 December 2023.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

• Used Internet tools and performed Web searches.

• Reviewed results of recent market research on similar or identical requirements.

• Reviewed the small business administration website for possible small business vendors.

a. Effective competition. Due to the proprietary nature of the requirement Biospace Inc. is the exclusive provider of InBody products.

b. Subcontracting competition. N/A Biospace Inc. does not have subcontractors as their equipment and products are proprietary.

7. Actions to Increase Competition:

There are no practical alternatives available to increase competition for this requirement, based on the reasons stated at number 5 above. The Government will continue to seek new resources that will satisfy these requirements through continued market research, request for Statements of Capability, and telephonic inquiries.

8. Market Research:
