The Epic 6100 has been selected by the Fleet Medical Type Commander as the replacement of the End Of Life (EOL) Ophthalmic systems on Naval Aircraft Carriers. The system’s compact footprint will not change by procuring the same system. Therefore, the ship would not be required to make costly shipboard structural modifications to get it installed. Additionally, the integral Auto-Refractor/Keratometer has been purchased on GS07FCA122-47QSWA21P0W5W

A description of efforts made to ensure that offersare solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized as required by FAR 5 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-05) and, if not, which exception under 5.101(b) (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-05) applies.

A combined synopsis will be posted to the Governmentwide point of entry (GPE) (SAM.gov) to pursue competition to the maximum extent practicable. Additionally, the approved Justification and Approval will be posted on SAM.gov in accordance with FAR 5.201 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-05) with the RFQ. A pre-solicitation notice will not be executed as per the exception listed under FAR 5.101(b) (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-05)since the value of the item(s) does not exceed the SAT.

A determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

Proposed quotes will be evaluated on fair and reasonable pricing and best value to the government. Price analysis will include, as applicable:

• Comparison with historical prices paid

• Review of catalog or published pricing

• Comparison with similar items in related industries

• Consideration of market conditions and demand factors

A description of the market research conducted (see FAR Part 10) and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

Market research for the Brand Name designation (justification) requirement was conducted by the requiring activity technical experts in April and May 2025 timeframe. This research consisted of reviews of similar previous procurements and a market survey through search engines of open market contractors and Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contractors. Search engines utilized include Google, Bing, and GSA Advantage and ECRI sourcebook catalog using the following search word: “refraction workstation”. Based on research and the Medical TYCOM requirements, the Epic 6100, sold by Marco is the only refraction workstation that will satisfy the requirements of the government.

A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

No sources have expressed interest, in writing, at this time. This is a brand name requirement and any contractor able to supply the brand name and part number requested will be considered for award based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the Request for Quote (RFQ).

The synopsis/posting will be posted to SAM.gov to maximize competition.

A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required.

RFO-2025-05).

The Contracting Officer certifies that this Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition is accurate and complete to the best of the Contracting Officer’s knowledge and belief.
