(D1) Sole Source.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document for a sole source procurement of a Wireless Automated Hearing Test System (WAHTS) by SUPSHIP Bath. The procurement will be made directly from WAHTS Hearing in Lebanon, New Hampshire through a Sole Source Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The justification is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as WAHTS Hearing is the only authorized distributor of this FDA-registered audiometer system that meets OSHA 1910.95, ANSI S3.6, and IEC 60645-1 standards. The system features a tablet-based audio app with built-in audiometer for portable, booth-less testing of pure/warble tones, narrow-band noise, and speech. The system is required to complete all audiograms at SUPSHIP Marinette in accordance with DOD 6055-05M, and meets requirements for personnel utilizing computers under 1AW OPNAV 5100.23. Market research confirmed there are no other vendors with comparable equipment available on GSA Advantage or elsewhere.
