JEFO R Series - FINAL (003)_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for the Naval Medical Center San Diego, focusing on acquiring Zoll R Series Monitor/Defibrillators. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain is the contracting activity, seeking 103 units from Zoll Medical under Contract SPE2D1-19-D-0011, which expires on January 13, 2029. The required R Series ALS Monitor/Defibrillators must meet specific FDA and technical requirements, including biphase delivery, real-time CPR feedback, wireless networking, and capabilities for measuring oxygen saturation, carbon dioxide, and blood pressure. Market research conducted between August and September 2025 confirmed that Zoll is the only manufacturer offering a product meeting all the Navy's minimum specifications, thus justifying a sole-source procurement under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) to ensure proper emergency medical response and hospital accreditation.
