This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open Competition under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Parts 6 and 12, Control Number FY26-0000.

The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity Healthcare Contracting Division, Southeast (DHACA-HCD-SE) is establishing a new firm fixed-price contract for qualified personnel to provide periodic preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, replacement of non-serviceable or non-functional equipment, and on-location repair services for 159 surgical, medical, and dental instrument trays at the United States Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (USNMRTC GB). The contract period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, comprising a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, funded under Operations and Maintenance (O&M). The procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition under RFO FAR 6.103-1, with award to STERIS Instrument Management Services, Inc. (STERIS IMS). Market research conducted from November 26, 2025, to July 10, 2026, including a Notice of Intent posted on SAM.gov from June 17 to July 10, 2026, identified only one capable source: STERIS IMS, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that acquired V. Mueller brand assets from Becton, Dickinson and Company in August 2023. One alternative proposal was received from Agiliti Health, Inc., but the Government determined that STERIS IMS is the sole source with certified technicians, proprietary tooling, OEM status, and required security clearances for the Guantanamo Bay facility location. The Contracting Officer has determined the estimated costs to be fair and reasonable based on comparison with similar recently awarded federal contracts.
