Approved 01.12.26 JA_SAT_$350K and Below_UniPOC_WBAMC_V2_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Record documenting a justification to limit competition for a federal contract action below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The Medical Readiness Contracting Office - West is procuring remote technician services from Siemens HealthCare Diagnostics INC (located at 511 Benedict Avenue, Tarrytown, New York) for William Beaumont Medical Center (WBAMC) at Fort Bliss, Texas. The requirement involves a one-time migration of three UniPOC data management servers from Microsoft Server 2016 to Microsoft Server 2019 and upgrading the UniPOC software to version 1.8. The period of performance runs from February 5, 2026, through February 4, 2027. The contract is a new requirement using a fixed-price contract vehicle, funded through DHP (Other Funds) for fiscal year 26, with Siemens HealthCare Diagnostics INC identified as the proposed contractor.

The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) authority, identifying exclusive licensing agreements and proprietary rights as the basis for sole-source procurement. Market research conducted from December 19, 2025, on SAM.gov identified three responding companies, but all were unauthorized to work on Siemens HealthCare Diagnostics equipment. The contracting officer determined that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on comparisons with an Independent Government Estimate and certified that the sole-source award is in the Government's best interest. No posting is required for this action as it is not a brand name restriction and falls under $350,000. The technical and contracting officer certifications confirm the accuracy and completeness of the justification supporting this limited competition determination.
