About this file
This is a Justification to Restrict Competition document for a below-Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) procurement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, Albuquerque Area.
The procurement involves the acquisition of medical equipment totaling $74,665.00, including three Accuview Vein Finder AV500 units ($15,249.00), one Welch Allyn Scale Tronic 5002 ($2,736.00), two GE Resting ECG EKG MAC VU360 units ($1,116.00), two SECA Infant Scale 3741321004 units ($37,252.00), twelve Exergen Thermometer EXN-124275S units ($2,580.00), ten Rad-G Pulse Oximeter 95164 units ($12,880.00), and shipping and handling ($2,800.00). The justification acknowledges that while this equipment is commercially available from multiple qualified vendors including Woman-Owned Small Businesses, Medline, and other commercial sources, the procurement is for brand-specific equipment. The contracting officer documents that the restriction to these particular brands is justified based on compatibility with existing systems, standardization requirements across Albuquerque Area Service Units, maintenance efficiency, and operational continuity needs, as the existing medical equipment is approaching end-of-life and nearing obsolescence. The document was prepared by Leanna VanKeuren on May 12, 2026, and approved by Contracting Officer Shandiin R. DeWolfe on May 18, 2026.
