This document is a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for the acquisition of two Computed Tomography (CT) scanners for the Defense Health Agency (DHA), specifically to support Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) and Naval Hospital Okinawa. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain is the contracting activity, seeking to purchase two CT scanners due to the degrading condition of existing equipment that could negatively impact patient care in these emergency medical facilities.

The solicitation (SPE2D1-15-R-0001) requires CT scanners that meet 22 specific minimum requirements, including FDA approval, 64 slices or greater, 50 cm Field of View, various imaging capabilities, and critical software features. Market research conducted in May-June 2025 identified only three vendors capable of meeting all DHA requirements. The justification emphasizes the urgency of replacing the existing CT scanners, which are past their life expectancy and experiencing frequent equipment failures that could compromise emergency medical services at these remote military medical treatment facilities.
