The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 339115, ophthalmic goods manufacturing, which has a business size standard of 1,000 employees. The product service code (PSC) is 6540, ophthalmic instruments, equipment, and supplies.

The objective of this sole source award is to procure a new Sonomed Escalon ultrasound system for the Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton (NHCP), located at Sequoia Rd. Bldg. H-135, Camp Pendleton, CA 92055.

The Sonomed Escalon system; however, the existing equipment has surpassed its 10-year life expectancy, is in poor physical condition, and has been deemed unrepairable. To prevent outsourcing patients who require critical ophthalmic ultrasound procedures, the department must replace this obsolete system.

Sonomed Escalon is the only source capable of meeting the government’s minimum requirements. NHCP technical and clinical personnel are already fully trained on this system, and technical staff maintain the equipment under the current maintenance schedule. Retaining the Sonomed Escalon system eliminates the need to retrain clinical personnel and leverages the facility's established maintenance support infrastructure, thereby preventing operational downtime and unacceptable delays in patient care. Furthermore, standardizing this technology directly supports patient safety by ensuring seamless continuity of care, eliminating user learning curves, and preventing the operational risks associated with outsourcing diagnostic services.

DGA Medical LLC, is the exclusive authorized distributor for SteelcoBelimed products to the U.S. Government, making them the only source capable of providing this specific equipment.

Consequently, this acquisition of commercial products and services is being executed on a sole-source basis in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a) and RFO 19.106-3(a)(1), as the contracting officer does not have a reasonable expectation that offers will be received from two or more Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns.
