JEFO - FY26 Medical All-In-One(AIO) Computers - DHMSM_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B), a federal contracting document submitted by the Defense Health Agency (DHA), Enterprise Medical Services Contracting Division (EMS-CD).

The procurement seeks to acquire 1,957 Medical All-in-One (AIO) computers branded as DT Research for the Defense Healthcare Management Systems (DHMSM) program, with delivery required by August 2026. The contract will be awarded on a sole-source, brand-name-only basis through NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP). The estimated contract value is redacted in the document. The DHA justifies this exception to fair opportunity based on the unique compatibility and integration requirements of the DT Research Medical Grade AIO computers with the MHS GENESIS platform, an automated healthcare information system supporting DoD Military Treatment Facilities. The equipment has undergone extensive testing and validation through the Configuration Control Board and DHMSM Program Management Office System Engineering team. The computers possess uniquely configured heat dissipation, power consumption capabilities for Workstations on Wheels and Operating Room Anesthesia workflows, and specific hardware-software connections that make them explicitly compatible with MHS GENESIS. Market research conducted January 12, 2025, confirmed that at least two or more small businesses on NASA SEWP could provide the requirement. The document includes certifications from technical and requirements personnel, legal review approval, fair and reasonable cost determination, and final approval from the Competition Advocate dated October 2024.
