About this file
This document is a sole source justification for a federal contract award. The U.S. Army Medical Command awarded a contract to Carestream Health Inc. on March 30, 2022 for an unknown amount. The contract provides annual preventive maintenance, repairs, software upgrades, and support for mobile x-ray systems. Carestream Health Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and sole proprietor of the software, and does not authorize other vendors to service the equipment or software. Market research conducted between October 2021 and January 2022 found no other sources that could meet the requirements. The justification cites Carestream's proprietary ownership and lack of alternatives as necessitating a sole source award. A notice of intent to make a sole source award will be posted to the System for Award Management.

Control Number: 22 RHCO C 99 CUI
Annual Preventive Maintenance, Mobile X-ray Systems
CUI
(Source Selection Information See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 4)
APR 2021
Carestream Health Inc. The hospital will continue to survey the market for products for competition.
a. Effective competition: It is anticipated that only one vendor is capable of meeting this particular requirement due to Carestream Health Inc. sole proprietorship. The use of non- Carestream Health Inc. software upgrades and technician will invalidate any warranty on new parts and software upgrades
b. Subcontracting competition. No Subcontracting Plan required in accordance with FAR 19.702(a)(1)(i)..
7. Actions to Increase Competition: After contract award, this justification will be available at the Government Point of Entry (GPE), SAM.gov. If in the future other services become available, market research will be performed to consider other sources that meet or exceed the current requirement. In order to remove any future barriers to competition the government will continue to monitor the market in case other options become available to increase competition before exercising each option period.
8. Market Research: Market research was conducted by the customer from 1 October 2021 to 1 January 2022, by contracting on 21 January 2022, and found that the OEM is the only source that has the capabilities to provide these OEM repair parts and software upgrades. Carestream Health Inc. does not authorize the repair of equipment or software, provide training, nor sell parts to 3rd party vendors. A search was done on GSA and found that Carestream Health Inc. does not have a GSA contract. The services requested for equipment maintenance, software support, repairs and upgrades can only be found on the open market and can only be provided by Carestream Health Inc.
9. Interested Sources: A Notice of Intent to sole source this action will be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE), SAM.gov.
