This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for simplified procedures for certain commercial items submitted by the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

The acquisition covers replacement equipment and preventive maintenance services for the Computed Tomography X5000 System under a one-year base contract plus four one-year options, with performance estimated from October 12, 2025 through October 11, 2030. The contractor shall provide on-site maintenance including preventive maintenance, calibration, troubleshooting, repair, alignment, technical support, parts, testing, software updates, training, and associated repairs. The base year includes a 12-month Silver Maintenance Agreement, software updates, advanced training for 1339 units, and replacement of efx-CT 4G eXtreme Reconstruction Workstations and efx-DR Workstations, plus installation of workstations. Option years one through four each include annual Silver Maintenance Agreements with preventive maintenance and software for 1339 units. The justification establishes that North Star Imaging is the sole source provider because NSI is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the CT X5000 system and holds proprietary rights to the hardware and software. Only NSI employees are authorized and trained to perform calibrations and services, and no other vendors have access to proprietary software or data rights necessary to perform maintenance. Market research confirmed no other vendors possess the required capabilities. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing for similar services. The document was coordinated on February 24, 2025 and approved on April 28, 2025 by Contracting Officer Hideo Mera.
