    Limiting-Competition-under-SAT Sterilizer Maintenance IACH Redacted 20250219.pdf
    The document outlines a memorandum for the maintenance and repair of sterilizers and boilers for the Irwin Army Community Hospital (IACH) at Fort Riley, Kansas. The Fort Cavazos Health Contracting Branch plans to award a new contract to Getinge USA Sales, LLC for non-personal services related to two sterilizers and two integrated boilers owned by the government. The contract is structured with a base period from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, valued at $17,649.36, with two additional option periods extending to 2028, raising the total value to $65,218.44 if a six-month extension is exercised. Getinge USA is the sole authorized service provider for this equipment, as only certified personnel can maintain it without voiding warranties. Market research confirms a lack of other qualified vendors, emphasizing the urgency of continuous service to avoid negative impacts on patient care. Consequently, the justification for limiting competition is based on the unique capabilities of Getinge USA, the urgency of repairs, and the necessity of proprietary parts. The contracting officer's determination aligns with federal acquisition regulations, underscoring thorough due diligence and the prioritization of service continuity for military medical operations.
