SPE2D525F3944 JEFO Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) document for the sole-source procurement of twenty-one (21) GE Corometrics 259cx Maternal/Fetal Monitors with Mini Telemetry Wireless Fetal monitoring for Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Camp Pendleton (NMRTC CPEN). The procurement will be placed under DATEX-OHMEDA's basic Long-Term Contract SPE2D1-19-D-0013, valid through March 2029, using their ECAT Contract SPE2D1-19-D-7007.

The JEFO cites FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) as authority, stating DATEX-OHMEDA is the only vendor capable of meeting all requirements, particularly the tele-monitoring requirement of 1500 feet range (their system supports 1640ft). The document details specific technical requirements including fetal heart rate monitoring (30-240 bpm), uterine contraction monitoring, maternal vital signs monitoring, and other capabilities. Market research identified eight potential vendors (Atlantic Diving Supply, Philips Electronics, DATEX-OHMEDA, Salus Medical, Spacelabs, The Janz Corporation, TrillaMed LLC, and Obix), but only DATEX-OHMEDA could meet all requirements, as Philips' system fell short on the tele-monitoring range requirement (230 ft vs required 1500 ft).
