Polysomnography Equipment NOISS

The Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West (MRCO-W), Fort Hood Health Contracting Branch, operating under the Department of the Army Medical Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for polysomnography equipment. The contract will be awarded to Nihon Kohden America, LLC under Federal Acquisition Regulation authority 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold where only one source is reasonably available. This firm fixed-price contract is intended to support the Reynolds Army Health Clinic (RAHC) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing with a size standard of 1250 employees. The contracting office has determined that circumstances warrant sole source procurement due to compatibility requirements with existing government-owned systems.

The primary objective of this procurement is to expand the sleep study facility at Reynolds Army Health Clinic from five to six rooms through the acquisition of specialized polysomnography equipment. The government has established a deadline of August 8, 2025 for this notice, with contract award planned for on or about August 13, 2025. This is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals or quotes, and the government will not honor requests for capability briefings or telephonic inquiries related to this notice. Market research conducted by the contracting office confirmed that no small businesses or alternative vendors can provide the required equipment that must be compatible with existing systems. The determination to proceed with sole source procurement rather than competitive bidding remains solely within the government's discretion, and any responses to this notice will not influence future solicitation requirements.
