The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain is the contracting activity procuring thirteen (13) Draeger Atlan Anesthesia systems for the United States Naval Ship Mercy, with a total estimated value of $604,949.41. The contract (SPE2D1-24-D-0009) is valid through July 16, 2029, under the Patient Monitoring Program.

The procurement is specifically to replace existing Draeger Fabius Tiro anesthesia units in eleven (11) operating rooms and two (2) Dental Department rooms.

The contract pricing has been determined fair and reasonable through comparison with commercial pricing data, and the DLA will continue market research to explore alternative sources for future procurements.
