JEFO OKC VAMC Draeger Atlan_Final_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for Draeger Inc's contract SPE2D1-24-D-0009 for anesthesia machines. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division is the contracting activity, seeking eleven (11) anesthesia delivery systems for the Oklahoma City Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) under an existing Patient Monitoring and Capital Equipment Program contract valid through July 16, 2029.

The JEFO specifies that the Draeger Atlan A350 XL anesthesia delivery systems are the only vendor meeting all ICU-grade requirements, including: delivery of oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air; multiple ventilation modes (Pressure Control and Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation); electrically driven piston ventilation bellows; and tidal volume control down to 5mL. Market research confirmed Draeger as the sole vendor meeting these specific technical requirements. The contracting officer determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable, and DLA Troop Support will continue to monitor the market for potential future competition in subsequent acquisitions.
