Attch 2- Large Rapiscan 935DX X-Ray Machine Limited Sources Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for a Simplified Procedure for Certain Commercial Items, issued by the 50th Contracting Squadron at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado. The procurement is for one Large Rapiscan 935DX X-ray machine to replace an existing end-of-life X-ray machine, with the requirement including removal and disposal of the current system. The funding level is between >SAT and ≤$750K, and the procurement is justified based on cost efficiency, operational continuity, and minimal disruption to existing workflows.

The document highlights that alternative brands are not being considered because the costs of completely overhauling the existing system and retraining personnel would be prohibitively expensive. A sources sought was posted on Sam.gov from July 1-8, 2025, with three vendors expressing interest. The justification emphasizes long-term cost efficiency, noting that after the initial one-year warranty, a consolidated maintenance contract will be solicited. The procurement approach aims to leverage existing expertise, promote cost efficiency, and ensure continued effectiveness of the X-ray machine operations.
