Justification Review Document Summary

This is a Justification and Approval document for a non-competitive federal contract award under FAR Part 12. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center (DDEAMC) at Fort Gordon, Georgia, seeks to procure a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) system through a five-year firm-fixed-price contract with base period from May 20, 2026 through May 19, 2027, followed by four one-year options extending through May 19, 2031. The contractor identified is Neuromodulatory Devices & Applications, Inc. (SBELS973SMB5), located at 1420 Dana Ave, Palo Alto, California 94301-3149, a small business. The procurement will utilize FY26 DHP funds.

The TMS system is a non-drug, non-invasive treatment using magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive brain areas for depression and other mental health/neurological conditions. The justification cites a sole source exception under Title 41 U.S.C. §1901 because the Department of Mental Health's Residential Treatment Facility has extremely limited space, and only Neuromodulatory Devices & Applications can provide equipment that fits within the confined facility while maintaining compatibility with existing treatment methodology and analyzers. Market research identified two competing vendors (MagVenture and Dise LLC), but both were determined not to meet size requirements. The government conducted limited outreach efforts including a sources sought notice and Notice of Intent to sole source, with no competing responses received. The document includes certifications regarding technical accuracy, requirements validity, fair and reasonable pricing determination using IGE and historical data, and contracting officer approval.
