JEFO SPE2D126F0082_POSTED.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) document supporting a single-source procurement from Philips North America LLC for a patient monitoring system upgrade at Yokota Air Force Base (AFB) under existing contract SPE2D1-19-D-0014, valid through March 28, 2029.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division is procuring an estimated $881,352.68 in medical equipment and services. Required supplies include: urgent replacement of 31 End of Service Life (EOSL) Multi-Measurement Modules; urgent replacement of 30 Philips MP (Multi-Parameter)-series bedside monitors; upgrade of all five Patient Information Center iX (PIIC iX) Central nurse's stations; additional purchase of Philips Intellibridge Enterprise data transfer system; additional purchase of six X3 Transport Monitors; and additional purchase of one PIC iX 4 Central Monitoring Station. The justification cites FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) as authority, asserting that only Philips can provide the required supplies at the necessary quality level due to the proprietary and specialized nature of the equipment, system design, and functionality. Supporting documentation includes market research conducted by Yokota AB from August through September 2024 and additional DLA research in August 2025, both confirming that no other vendor can meet all minimum requirements. The contracting officer certified that the existing contract pricing represents fair and reasonable value, and committed to continued market research for future patient monitoring system procurements, with plans for full competition when Yokota AB replaces its entire system in 2032.
