LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

1. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, is the contracting activity.

2. This justification is for the purchase of a Nuance PowerScribe voice dictation software upgrade which is part of the existing FujiFilm Medical Systems U.S.A.

(FUJI) Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS) on a sole source basis.

3. The required voice dictation software upgrade is part of the current FUJI PACS installed at the Naval Medical Center (NMC) Portsmouth. The upgrade is available on FUJI’s DINPACS contract SPM2D1-11-D-8307 which expires April 10, 2015. The total estimated dollar value of this requirement is $210,503.00.

4. The authority under the Multiple-Award Schedule Program waiving the competition requirements is FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(B), Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. The current PowerScribe voice dictation software installed is a component of the Fuji PACS system installed at the NMC Portsmouth. This procurement will upgrade the voice dictation software to PowerScribe 360. FUJI is the only DINPACS III contract holder that is qualified to integrate the upgraded PowerScribe software into their PACS. The PowerScribe voice dictation software is purchased as a component of the Fuji PACS system because radiologists require a product that allows reporting and communications functionality that integrates seamlessly with the FUJI PACS. Since the software was installed on the PACS workstations which were purchased through FUJI and the software integrates into the FUJI PACS software no other DINPACS vendor is capable of installing this upgrade with a guarantee of integration into the FUJI PACS system. Additionally, the existing PACS system and all of its functionality, including voice dictation, is covered under Fuji’s warranty and/or extended maintenance service plan. Thus, no 3rd party could install this software upgrade on a Fuji PACS workstation without potentially jeopardizing the functionality of the PACS and causing warranty and/or maintenance issues.

5. DLA Troop Support has already determined the methodology for how FUJI prices

Nuance PowerScribe software/installation under their contract to be fair and reasonable based upon that was evaluated at the time of award of FUJI’s current DINPACS III contract and subsequent modifications.

6. Market research confirmed that the brand name Nuance PowerScribe 360 software is available from multiple sources under the DINPACS III contract.

However, since this voice dictation software is a component of the current FUJI PACS system and needs to integrate with the existing PACS; only FUJI can
