The Defense Health Agency (DHA) U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price contract to Syneron Candela, a company located in Tokyo, Japan. The contract is being issued on behalf of the Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Yokosuka for periodic maintenance and calibration services for a Syneron-Candela Gentlemax Pro equipment. The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for sole source acquisitions when only one source is reasonably available. Specifically, the notice indicates that Syneron Candela is the only authorized manufacturer capable of performing the required maintenance and calibration services for this specific medical equipment.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally communicate the government's intent to award a contract directly to Syneron Candela without competitive bidding. Interested firms have until 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on May 29, 2025, to submit written responses identifying their capability to provide similar services. The maintenance services require a Field Service Engineer with comprehensive manufacturer training, certification, and direct access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts in Japan. Contractors seeking to challenge the sole source determination must fully demonstrate their interest and capability to the designated point of contact, James Cheng, via email at james.cheng1.civ@health.mil. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract based on any responses received. No telephone requests will be considered, and the notice explicitly states that this is not a request for quotations (RFQ).
