Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 11th Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: J. Morita Veraview X800 F150

Purchase Request/Identification Number:

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Veraview X800 Dental Imaging Machine

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The requested device must be capable of the following:

-High quality image exposures in 8.2 seconds -Light sensor technology that assesses distance to properly layer images -Three parameter auto-exposure to detect emitted radiation and adjust components for minimal radiation exposure -Producing distortion-free image layers with uniform magnification value

The Veraview X800 is currently the only dental imaging machine on the market capable of patient care for various clinical treatments while reducing the need for further image processing through other technology.

Additionally, only one of the three systems is being replaced and must be compatible with the other two systems. The cost of replacing the one system with mounting hardware for it already in place is much lower than the cost of replacing all three to a new system.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

J Morita USA is one of two vendors who has responded to a posted sources sought. Based on market research it is recommended to sole source award to J Morita USA, IAW 6.302-1(a)(2), as they are the manufacturor of the equipment, have quoted less and can fulfill the delivery and installation of the requirement sooner.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

In the event that similar requirements occur in the future, more market research will be performed to entice small business to involve them in providing this service. Every effort will be made to induce competition to include publishing a Sources Sought and Notice of Contract Action (as required).
