    The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) is issuing a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to A-DEC Inc. for the installation of twelve dental chairs and related equipment at the United States Naval Hospital Okinawa, Japan. This contract is designated as a non-personal services agreement and is not open for competitive proposals, as A-DEC Inc. is the only source that meets the necessary requirements outlined by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The contract will involve the de-installation of existing dental chairs and proper installation and calibration of new dental equipment, which is critical for operational readiness and the delivery of safe dental care. Market research indicates that in-house technicians lack the required specialized training from A-DEC Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, making them incapable of performing the necessary installation and calibration services.

This notice underscores the necessity and exclusivity of A-DEC's services to fulfill the government's operational mandates in a non-competitive procurement context.
