DHA Sole Source Justification REDACTED.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition Sole Source document for a contract with Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. The Department of Health Agency's Southeastern Market Contracting Division is seeking to procure one (1) Detector CXDI-50G Sensor for the U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The contract is a firm-fixed price, one-time supply buy funded by the Defense Health Program, with Siemens Medical Solutions identified as the only vendor capable of providing the required part due to being the original equipment manufacturer.

The requirement is urgent and critical, as the current x-ray unit's detector is no longer functional, which has degraded healthcare capabilities at the Guantanamo Bay facility. Market research, including a 15-day Notice of Intent posted on SAM.gov on 25 April 2025, confirmed no other vendors can provide the necessary supply. The part is proprietary, discontinued, and only available from Siemens. The contract aims to replace the current inoperable detector to restore diagnostic imaging capabilities, which is essential for medical diagnostics for personnel and their families on the island.
