Notice of Intent to Sole Source HT941026N0088

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE SUPPLY CONTRACT

AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.

The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), Healthcare Contracting Division – West (HCD-W), intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order for seven (7) Marco SC- 1600 LCD Acuity Systems (Manufacturer: Marco Ophthalmic). This procurement supports the operational requirements of the NMRTC Camp Pendleton Optometry Department and is conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a) under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO)for the acquisition of commercial products and services.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), which has an associated small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The corresponding Product Service Code (PSC) is 6540 (Ophthalmic Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

The objective of this procurement is to execute a sole-source contract award for seven (7) Marco SC-1600 LCD Acuity Systems, manufactured by Marco Ophthalmic, to support the NMRTC Camp Pendleton Optometry Department. This equipment is required to accurately measure patients' refractive errors by providing standardized Snellen and specialty optotype charts, contrast sensitivity testing, and binocular balance tests. Crucially, the Marco SC-1600 is the only system capable of seamless integration with the department's existing TRS-6100 Automated Refraction Systems, allowing providers to control all chart functions directly from the refractor’s central control unit. This specific manufacturer’s equipment has been the interoperability standard across Navy optometry clinics since 2008. Camp Pendleton's currently integrated equipment, procured between 2013 and 2014, has exceeded its operational life expectancy; age and wear have caused internal gears to grind and physical charts to fade, compromising patient readings. Upgrading to the SC-1600 will resolve these hardware failures, modernize the examination rooms, and align Camp Pendleton with over ten other Navy optometry clinics that have already transitioned to this generation of refractive technology. Additionally, retaining the Marco Ophthalmic standard eliminates the need to retrain clinical personnel and leverages the facility's established maintenance support infrastructure, preventing operational downtime and unacceptable delays in patient care. Because this requirement relies on strict compatibility with existing proprietary hardware, and market research indicates no reasonable expectation of receiving quotes from two or more small businesses for an equivalent integrated system, the

Government intends to execute this procurement on a sole-source basis under the authority of Other Than Full and Open Competition.
