Justification for Sole Source Procurement (Open Market or GSA) Under $350,000

This document is a Justification for Sole Source Procurement prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the CDC/NIOSH Respiratory Health Division located in Morgantown, West Virginia. The procurement activity involves the Office of Financial Resources and Office of Acquisition Services.

The requirement is for a sole source acquisition of Gemini 12MP Color Medical Monitors from Double Black Imaging, located at 246 S. Taylor Ave., Suite 300, Louisville, CO 80027. The justification cites compatibility and continuity as the basis for the non-competitive action under FAR 12.102 and 41 USC 1901. The primary rationale is that purchasing monitors from Double Black Imaging allows all NIOSH monitors to be supported by one maintenance company, maintains software compatibility, and enables usage of a single calibration feedback system. The document notes that selecting different medical monitors would require multiple maintenance contracts, increase software development costs, and create complexity in maintaining calibrated displays. NIOSH has invested significant resources in developing the NIOSH BViewer software, which works optimally with Nvidia graphics cards and Double Black Imaging monitors. The Program Office Certification is provided by Travis Markle, and the Contracting Officer Certification is signed by Stephen Lester, dated August 13, 2026.
