Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) form for a sole source procurement by the Marine Corps Information Operations Center (MCIOC).

The requiring activity seeks to procure one Inbody 770S Body Composition Analyzer from BIOSPACE, INC. (DBA: INBODY) under existing contract 36F79722D0074, with an estimated unit cost of $16,152.50. The device is required to perform body composition analysis in compliance with MARADMINS Number 586/24. The J&A justifies use of other than full and open competition based on brand name requirements, as the Inbody 770 is the only USMC-approved Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) device currently available in the commercial marketplace. No alternative items meet Marine Corps requirements, and no other authorized purchase methods exist for this capability. The Marine Corps acknowledges monitoring the commercial marketplace for potential competing sources and commits to reassessing competition feasibility should alternative solutions emerge. The technical certification will be completed by GySgt Robert L. Kopesky, S39 Information Operations Chief, with contact information provided as Robert.l.kopesky.mil@usmc.mil and 703-784-5842. The form requires signatures from both the technical/requirements certifier and the Contracting Officer to validate the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
