LSJ WAHTS Automated Hearing Test System Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) document for a single-source acquisition of a WAHTS Wireless Automated Hearing Test System under the Equipment ECAT multiple award contract.

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Hospital Supply Division is acquiring hearing test equipment and accessories for the California Military Department's Consolidated Headquarters Complex. The order will be placed against ECAT Solicitation SPE2DH-21-R-0002, Contract Number SPE2DH-26-D-0007, valid through February 23, 2031. The specific items include 91 WAHTS Wireless Automated Hearing Test Systems (Part No. 6459-010-9003A HW), 13 WAHTS Hearing Test System Tablets (Part No. 6459-010-9003A ADMIN), and 13 wireless sound level meters by SVANTEK (Part No. HEA-COT00021A). The total estimated dollar value is redacted in the document. Contracting Officer GINA DE SANTO certified the prices as fair and reasonable under FAR 8.404(d).

The justification invokes FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) authority for limited sources, asserting that only WAHTS products meet all specified minimum requirements, which include hardware and software integration, automated testing, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, sound attenuation without hearing booths, portability, asynchronous testing capability, specified throughput rates, data storage, exportable data files in CSV or PDF formats, and direct compatibility with the DOEHRS-HC (Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System – Hearing Conservation) database. Market research completed in September 2026 by CMD site teams and October 2026 by DLA Troop Support confirmed that competing systems fail to meet multiple critical requirements, including independent Wi-Fi/Bluetooth operation, sound attenuation capabilities, portability, asynchronous testing functionality, and DOEHRS-HC compatibility. The equipment is necessary to support mandatory military medical readiness requirements for hearing evaluations and hearing protection fit tests across diverse operational settings.
