ECAT JEFO - BAMC Cart Washers_FINAL_APPROVED_VERSION_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for Trillamed LLC, supporting the acquisition of three cart washers for the Sterile Processing and Distribution section at Brooke Army Medical Center. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain is the contracting activity, issuing the order under Trillamed's Long-Term Contract (LTC) SPE2D1-21-D-0008, valid through July 2026. The cart washers are needed to clean and sterilize equipment for surgical transport and patient care, with specific requirements including compatibility with existing space and minimal modifications to plumbing, structural, and electrical systems.

Market research determined that Trillamed is the sole vendor capable of providing cart washers meeting the facility's minimum requirements, specifically their Getinge 9120 model. The contract will be placed against the DLA Electronic Catalog (ECAT) Contract SPE2D1-21-D-7004, which serves as a net-centric, payment system for federal customers. DLA Troop Support will continue to perform market research to locate alternative sources for future procurements and enhance competition. The contracting officer has certified that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, and Trillamed remains the only known supplier able to meet the Brooke Army Medical Center's specific needs through June 2025.
