About this file
This document is a brand name justification for an exception to fair opportunity using simplified acquisition procedures under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Department of the Interior Interior Business Center seeks to purchase a Mindray TE X Plus Diagnostic Ultrasound System along with five specified probes from Mindray under simplified acquisition procedures. The estimated cost for the ultrasound system and probes is under the simplified acquisition threshold. The justification cites that the Mindray brand equipment allows for continuity as it will replace the current system and purchasing other brands would result in increased learning curves, duplicate work efforts, increased training, maintenance, and administrative costs. The equipment is being requested to replace the current system used by the Indian Health Services.
