JA X5000 Prev Maintenance_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center for a non-competitive contract procurement. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a one-year base contract with four option years for hardware and software support, maintenance, and upgrades for the North Star Imaging (NSI) X5000 Computed Tomography (CT) machine. The contract will have a potential performance period through FY30 and includes 12-month Silver PM maintenance packages with 2 visits and efX SW License Renewal Options for each contract year, specifically tailored to the NSI CT system that requires specialized proprietary software and hardware.

The procurement is being justified under FAR 13.501(a) as the required hardware and software are available only from NSI, the original equipment manufacturer, due to the system's unique integration requirements. NSI built the X5000 CT machine and possesses proprietary knowledge necessary for maintenance, with no alternative vendors capable of supporting the system. The government will continue exploring future procurement needs and technology advancements in this industry, and will post the justification online in accordance with federal acquisition regulations to maintain transparency in the non-competitive procurement process.
