Stryker IOR_Jefo_Maintenance_NMC San Diego_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for a sole-source contract award.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, Capital Equipment Division seeks to award an annual full-service maintenance contract to Stryker Corporation under contract SPE2D1-20-D-0011 for Stryker Operating Room Integration Systems and Endoscopy Systems at Naval Medical Center San Diego. The contract, which expires July 16, 2030, requires full-service maintenance support including software updates and equipment repair. The estimated dollar value is redacted. The justification invokes FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) authority, asserting that only Stryker is capable of providing the required services because it is the original equipment manufacturer with sole proprietary licenses for operating software on these systems. Third-party service providers cannot obtain replacement parts or software licenses, and unauthorized repair may void warranties and require additional OEM support. Market research conducted in April 2026 confirmed Stryker possesses the unique ability to provide required maintenance services. The contract pricing has been determined fair and reasonable through comparison with commercial pricing, invoices, and cost or pricing data from the existing PMCE Contract SPE2D1-20-D-0011. The document notes that while DLA will continue allowing PMCE vendors to add qualifying products to increase competition, currently no other known PMCE vendors maintain full-service contracts for existing Stryker OR Integration and Endoscopy Systems. The justification is signed by Anthony Giunta, Contracting Officer, FSD, and a Biomedical Engineer, FSDC.
