The Fort Hood Health Contracting Branch, Medical Readiness Contracting Office - West, under the Department of the Army Medical Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Eaton Corporation for the maintenance of an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system. The contract will support critical medical imaging equipment—specifically the Toshiba Aquillion Computed Tomography (CT) and GE Discovery Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems—at Irwin Army Community Hospital (IACH) located at Fort Riley, Kansas. This is not a competitive solicitation; rather, it is a formal notification of the Government's determination that only one source is reasonably available to provide the required services. The contracting officer has established that Eaton Corporation is the sole source capable of maintaining the Government-owned Eaton UPS system. The notice was posted on March 3, 2026, and applies to an other than small business contractor under the authority of Title 41 U.S.C. 1901.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform interested parties of the Government's intention to award a Firm Fixed-Price sole source contract without competitive bidding. The applicable deadline for any responses or challenges to this notice is March 12, 2026; however, the Government explicitly states this is not a request for competitive proposals or capability briefings. The notice specifies that no telephonic inquiries will be honored and that any information submitted will not be used in any subsequent solicitation. Since this is a sole source award, there are no eligibility criteria for other contractors to participate; Eaton Corporation, located at 8609 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27615, is the designated recipient. The contract falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a size standard of 34 million dollars, and it is classified under PSC code J065 for maintenance and repair of medical equipment.
