BN_JA- SimMan Mx___Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract action by the General Services Administration (GSA). The contracting activity is 366 CONS/PKA, and the project involves SimMan Preventive Maintenance and Extended Warranty services for an existing manikin at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The estimated contract cost is redacted in the document, and the purchase request local ID number is listed as TBD.

The requirement is for preventive maintenance and extended warranty services for SimMan patient simulators, which are patented, protected-technology medical training devices manufactured by Laerdal Medical Corporation. The justification for single-source procurement centers on the fact that SimMan simulators require exclusive preventive maintenance and warranty services provided only by authorized Laerdal distributors, and Laerdal maintains a network of authorized government distributors for military and government agency support. To assess market capabilities, a sources sought notice was published on SAM.gov; however, only two authorized distributors were identified as capable of delivering the necessary services. Section E indicates the government will continue evaluating alternative medical training equipment for future procurements to preclude future single-source awards. The Contracting Officer, JACLYN FISH (GS-13), determined on January 27, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available for this contract action.
