Justification and Approval - Apteryx Softyware - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval for the non-competitive procurement of Apteryx software by the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The Apteryx software is a critical component of the Dental Integration Service Center (DISC) Corporate Dental System (CDS), which supports the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) dental mission at over 137 dental treatment facilities worldwide. The CDS allows dental providers to collect, process, present, and archive dental workload data, acquire digital images, and update readiness and patient scheduling data. The DHA has added the U.S. Navy to this Apteryx purchase, which provides software updates and technical support as needed. The justification for the non-competitive procurement is based on the Apteryx software being the sole source provider and the DHA's critical need for the continued operation and support of the CDS.
