Tab 1- Class LSJ - SDV Medical_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Class Limited Source Justification (LSJ) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain, related to the SDV Medical Electronic Catalog (ECAT) Contract SPE2D1-25-D-0006 for da Vinci robotic surgical systems. The contract is for a five-year period with a total maximum dollar value of $360 Million, covering robotic surgical systems, instruments, accessories, upgrades, and maintenance services for the Department of Defense, Veterans Administration, and other federal government customers. Intuitive Surgical, through SDV Medical, is the exclusive authorized supplier, as they are the only vendor with a robotic surgical system meeting the government's minimum requirements, including FDA clearance for multiple surgical procedures such as urological, laparoscopic, gynecologic, thoracoscopic, and cardiotomy procedures.

Market research conducted in June 2025 identified six alternative vendors, but none met the government's minimum requirements. The justification emphasizes the need for a single, consolidated solution to optimize patient outcomes, reduce operational complexity, minimize training requirements, and lower overall ownership costs. The contract prices were determined fair and reasonable through comparison with previous VA pricing and manufacturer invoices. The document includes provisions that if another FDA-approved robotic surgical system becomes available, a new limited source justification will be required to permit competition among authorized dealers.
