Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Defense, specifically the Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West, intends to award a sole source contract to Steris Corporation for the maintenance and repair of two Steris steam sterilizers and one ultrasonic cleaner at Weed Army Community Hospital in Fort Irwin, California. This procurement is essential for ensuring continuity of patient care and compliance with sterilization requirements, as Steris Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and possesses proprietary rights to the necessary services. The contract will cover a period from April 1, 2026, to September 30, 2030, with a funding amount based on a cost-reimbursable service model for fiscal years 2026 to 2029.

AI Summary
This memorandum justifies limiting competition for maintenance and repair services for two AMSCO Evolution steam sterilizers and one Caviwave ultrasonic cleaning system at Weed Army Community Hospital, Fort Irwin, California. The proposed contractor is STERIS CORPORATION, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), due to proprietary rights. The requirement is a follow-on, cost-reimbursable service for FY26-FY29, funded by DHP. Market research, including a SAM.gov sources sought notice and SBA search, yielded no other authorized providers. The justification cites FAR 12.102(a) for acquisitions below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and emphasizes that using an unauthorized vendor could compromise patient care and incur additional government costs. The contracting officer certified the fairness and reasonableness of the anticipated cost and approved the sole-source acquisition.
