LSJ NAV MED CTR SAN DIEGO NELLIS AFB - 500B ELEC COMPLETE W INSTALL Final signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) for a single-award procurement of dental chair equipment under the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Equipment ECAT (Enterprise Catalog) program.

The contracting activity, DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain Hospital Supply Division, seeks to procure 83 units of the A-dec Inc. 500B ELEC COMPLETE W/INSTALL dental chair system package for Naval Medical Center San Diego, California and Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The order will be placed against A-dec Inc.'s existing ECAT Solicitation SPE2DH-21-R-0002 Contract Number SPE2DH-24-D-0006, valid through March 5, 2029. The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) as the authority for limited sources, asserting that only A-dec Inc. offers supplies meeting the unique and highly specialized clinical requirements established by the end users. The Government determined pricing fair and reasonable under the Equipment ECAT multiple award program consistent with FAR 8.404(d).

The required dental chair system must meet ten specific minimum technical/clinical requirements: ultra-thin flexible backrest (1.25"), three mid-high position forward-articulating armrests, detachable double articulating headrest with sliding cushion, chair swivel range of at least 60 degrees (30 degrees per side), lift range exceeding 30 inches, solenoid dampener for controlled motion, maximum patient load of 500+ pounds, integrated 300-watt power supply, bi-directional hydraulic motor pump, and liquid shock treatment for waterline disinfection. Market research conducted in June 2026 by Naval Medical Center San Diego and Nellis AFB site teams, supplemented by DLA Troop Support research in August 2026 reviewing ECAT catalogs and biomedical engineering web searches, concluded that only the A-dec 500B ELEC system meets all minimum requirements. Two alternative competitive models were evaluated and found deficient across multiple mandatory specifications.
