Justification and Approval_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum for Record - Limiting Competition at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for Equipment Calibration Services. The contract is with Rees Scientific USA for calibration of temperature and humidity probes throughout the Guthrie clinic footprint, specifically at Ft. Drum and Watervliet clinics. The base period runs from 1 August 2025 through 31 July 2026, with four additional one-year option periods through 31 July 2030. The procurement is a sole-source action because Rees Scientific is the only supplier manufacturer that meets Department of Defense and Defense Health Agency information security requirements. The contract will be funded by DHP (Defense Health Program) funds and priced as a fixed-price agreement. The government intends to negotiate directly with Rees Scientific under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing that only one source is reasonably available, with maintenance being proprietary and third-party vendors not authorized to provide service.
