LIMITED-SOURCES JUSTIFICATION (LSJ)

This is a Limited-Sources Justification document for a dental equipment procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Hospital Supply Division, supporting Camp Pendleton in California.

The procurement authorizes the purchase of 17 units of the 500B COMPLETE DENTAL EQUIPMENT PACKAGE WITH INSTALL (CONUS) manufactured by A-dec, Inc. (Manufacturer Part Number: 500B COMPLETE WITH INSTALL) at a total estimated dollar value that has been redacted. The order will be placed against the Equipment ECAT Solicitation SPE2DH-21-R-0002 Contract Number SPE2DH-24-D-0006, valid through March 5, 2029. The contracting officer invokes FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) as the authority for this limited-sources award, citing that only one source is capable of providing the supplies at the required quality level because the product is unique and highly specialized.

The required dental chair system must meet seven minimum specifications: a glass touchscreen control panel measuring at least 5 inches, a chair swivel range of 60 degrees or greater (30 degrees each side), a lift range greater than 30 inches, a detachable double articulating headrest with sliding cushion and operational quick release adjustment lever, materials compatible with hospital-grade disinfectants, ability to connect to existing plumbing lines and hookups, and a maximum patient load capacity equal to or greater than 500 pounds. Market research conducted in June 2026 and August 2026 by Camp Pendleton site teams and the DLA Biomedical Engineer determined that the A-dec, Inc. 500B system is the only product currently available on ECAT or in the commercial market that meets all minimum clinical and technical requirements. Two alternative models were evaluated but found to fail multiple requirements including the touchscreen control panel, chair swivel range, lift range, headrest specifications, disinfectant compatibility, plumbing connection capability, and patient load capacity. The contracting officer certified that the acquisition represents the best value to the Government consistent with FAR 8.404(d).
