Brand Name Justification ZOLL_Redacted.pdf

This Single Source Justification document for a Simplified Acquisition details a procurement by the 18th Contracting Squadron for ZOLL Medical Corporation's Propaq MD Advanced Military Configuration medical equipment. The acquisition includes medical monitors with various features for patient monitoring (ECG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, CO2 monitoring, defibrillation), along with accessories like cables, sensors, batteries, cases, training electrodes, pediatric electrodes, cuffs, and ECG simulator.

The justification for a single-source award is based on the equipment's exclusive compatibility with existing emergency medical service (EMS) equipment at Kadena Air Base, with ZOLL being the only vendor capable of meeting specific Department of Defense operational requirements. The procurement is priced using ZOLL's PMCE Contract with a 10% discount off standard pricing, and the contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available. To mitigate future single-source concerns, Kadena Fire Emergency Services will conduct a comprehensive market survey to identify alternative vendors for comparable monitoring systems.
