ECAT JEFO Trillamed OmnicellXT_FINAL 30 MAR 2026_REDACTED.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) document supporting a single-source acquisition of five Omnicell XT medical supply cabinets for Weed Army Community Hospital (WACH) at Fort Irwin.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division, is executing this procurement under DLA's basic Long-Term Contract (LTC) SPE2D1-21-D-0008 with TrillaMed, valid through July 27, 2031. The delivery order will be issued under TrillaMed's Administrative DLA Electronic Catalog System (ECAT) Contract SPE2D1-21-D-7004. The cabinets are classified as Class VIII Medical Supply Cabinets. The contracting officer invokes FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) and DOD Class Deviation 2026-O0045 as authority for the sole-source exception, asserting that only TrillaMed can provide medical supply cabinets meeting all minimum requirements. Required capabilities include configurable shelving for limited spaces, interfacing with existing Supply Management Systems (DMLSS/Logicole) and MHS Genesis, role-based authority capabilities, automated inventory management with real-time updates and critical low-stock notifications, usage and cost analysis reporting, auto-generated reorder requests, and cataloged supply information including Transaction Identifier Code, National Stock Number, Manufacturer, and Threshold quantity levels. Market research identified only two vendors: the TrillaMed Omnicell XT Supply cabinet and the BD Pyxis Supply Station. The Omnicell XT is the only product available on a DLA contract that meets all facility requirements; BD Pyxis is not available on any DLA contract and does not meet all minimum specifications. Contract pricing on ECAT Contract SPE2D1-21-D-7004 has been previously determined fair and reasonable through comparison with commercial pricing data. The contracting officer commits to continued market research for future acquisitions to remove barriers to competition and enhance vendor participation.
