JEFO Fuji Portsmouth - final signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for Fujifilm Healthcare Hardware & Storage.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division is acquiring 1.64 Petabyte (PB) of local cache storage expansion with proprietary Fujifilm software configuration and incidental installation services for the Digital Imaging Network - Picture Archiving and Communication System (DIN-PACS) at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. The order will be placed under the existing Fujifilm Healthcare Americas DIN-PACS contract (SPE2D1-17-D-0040, solicitation SPE2D1-15-R-0004), which expires August 21, 2027. The sole-source procurement is justified under FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) as implemented by DOD Class Deviation 2026-00045, citing unique and highly specialized requirements that only Fujifilm can meet. The clinical justification centers on NMC Portsmouth's need to maintain 24 months of active patient imaging studies in local cache, as the existing storage is approaching maximum capacity. Local cache storage provides short-term, low-latency access to patient imaging studies (CT, MRI, X-ray), enabling radiologists to retrieve studies within seconds rather than hours from long-term archives—essential for emergency room operations and clinical workflow continuity. Market research conducted in May 2026 confirmed no other DIN-PACS IV contract vendors possess the required connectivity and compatibility with the existing Fujifilm DIN-PACS system installed at NMC Portsmouth. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on prior contract pricing. The justification will be made available for public inspection after award in accordance with FAR 16.507-6(f).
