Plethysmograph Equipment Maintenance Services

The Defense Health Agency's Healthcare Contracting Division, Southeast has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Plethysmograph Equipment Maintenance Services at Navy Medical Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Beaufort, South Carolina. The government intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract to Medical Graphics Corporation based on their status as the only responsible source capable of maintaining equipment to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards. The determination is supported by Medical Graphics Corporation's proprietary integration of hardware with exclusive BreezeSuite and Ascent software platforms that provide unified data acquisition, management, and reporting capabilities. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a small business size standard of $34.0 million. This special notice was posted on April 22, 2026, and indicates the government's preliminary intent to proceed with a non-competitive award.

The objective of this procurement is to secure comprehensive maintenance services for two critical pieces of medical equipment: a Platinum Elite Body Plethysmograph and a Medgraphics 5330 Syringe Plunger Spirometer. Interested parties must submit capability statements not exceeding five pages in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format, using a minimum 10-point font, by 12:00 PM EST on May 19, 2026, to Contracting Officer Andrew Pounds and Contract Specialist Rebecca Brashears. The contractor must provide all necessary trained and certified personnel, equipment, tools, vehicles, materials, and supervision for preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance services. The contract includes a base performance period from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027, with four optional one-year extension periods extending through September 29, 2031. While the government has indicated its intent to sole source this contract to Medical Graphics Corporation, it reserves the discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on the capability statements received and may elect not to award solely on the stated sole source rationale.
