JEFO Annual Maintenence Parata_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain. The document seeks to acquire full-service annual maintenance coverage for BD Parata Pharmacy Automation Systems deployed across 99 Defense Health Agency Military Treatment Facilities supporting 200 physical pharmacies. The requirement is for maintenance of automated pharmacy equipment including Workflow, Automation (Mini and Max), WillCall, and Unit-Dose Systems.

The justification specifies that Parata is the only company capable of providing this maintenance, as their systems are uniquely compatible with the current medical facility network, iA NEXiA workflow system, and MHS GENESIS. The contract (SPE2D1-22-D-0009) is valid through March 3, 2027, and the JEFO will allow the acquisition to proceed without following standard fair opportunity processes. The contracting officer certifies that the pricing has been determined fair and reasonable through comparison with commercial list pricing and discount practices.
