JEFO San Diego Draeger Atlans POSTED.pdf

This is a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) document for a single-source procurement action.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division is acquiring twenty-four (24) Draeger Atlan Anesthesia Systems for Naval Medical Center San Diego, California. The procurement is being conducted under the Draeger Administrative ECAT contract SPE2D1-24-D-A007, which was created against Base Contract SPE2D1-24-D-0009 and is valid through July 2029 under the Patent Monitoring program. The unit price is $60,322.96 per system, with a total estimated dollar value of $1,447,751.11. The authority for this single-source procurement is FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), as implemented by DOD Class Deviation 2026-O0045 (MAR 2026), justifying the award based on unique or highly specialized supplies.

The Draeger Atlan Anesthesia System is the only system meeting NMC San Diego's minimum requirements for anesthesia delivery capable of monitoring all five required anesthetic gases (desflurane, enflurane, halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane) while employing electronically driven piston ventilation. This ventilation method provides accurate tidal volume delivery, protects lungs from overventilation and underventilation, and enables automated lung recruitment maneuvers. The procurement is necessary to provide anesthesia delivery systems compatible with multiple ventilation modes, including Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV) for patients with damaged lungs. Market research confirmed that Draeger is the only vendor in the DLA Troop Support Capital Equipment Patient Monitoring Program offering anesthesia delivery systems with these required features. Contract pricing has been determined fair and reasonable through comparison with commercial pricing and certified cost data. DLA Troop Support commits to continued market research to identify alternative sources for future acquisitions to enhance competition.
