JEFO Camp Pendleton Fabius Tiro Posted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for a Draeger Fabius Anesthesia System procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division. The contract (SPE2D1-24-D-0009) is for acquiring one anesthesia system for Camp Pendleton, California, with a total estimated value of $57,951.00, valid through July 2029 under the Patient Monitoring program. The procurement requires a specialized anesthesia delivery system compatible with 1.5T and 3T MR scanners, capable of delivering oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air across multiple ventilation modes, including Pressure Control Ventilation, and able to employ electronically driven piston ventilation with automated lung recruitment maneuvers and low tidal volumes as small as 5mL.

The document justifies the sole-source procurement under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(b), noting that only one awardee can provide these uniquely specialized supplies. The contracting officer indicates that DLA Troop Support will continue market research to locate alternative sources and potentially add new products to the Patient Monitoring program contract to enhance future competition. The procurement is certified as meeting the government's minimum needs by both the Contracting Officer (Shawn Carney) and a Biomedical Engineer (Zehra Kahn), with the document digitally signed on October 30, 2025.
