Zoll AED Plus JEFO_Redacted updated.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support for the US Navy at Norfolk, VA. The document details the acquisition of the Zoll AED Plus, PS Series, with specific requirements including automatic self-testing, 5-year battery life, voice prompts, and ability to withstand storage temperatures up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Market research conducted between March and April 2025 confirmed that the Zoll AED Plus is the only defibrillator in the Electronic Catalog (ECAT) meeting all US Navy minimum requirements, with similar devices from Stryker, Physio-Control, Defibtech, and Philips identified but not fully compliant. The contract (SPE2D1-19-D-7003) expires on January 13, 2029, and DLA Troop Support will continue to perform market research to locate alternative sources for future acquisitions.
