    4.2 Justification and Approval Template ZOCT_1.pdf
    The justification for a sole-source acquisition by the Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) aims to replace a failing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) unit at the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Lab (NAMRL). This action involves purchasing a Zeiss HD-OCT 6000 with Angioplex to satisfy specific medical research needs, particularly concerning ocular imaging and measurements. The unit’s unique capabilities, such as its FDA approval, superior axial resolution, and backwards compatibility with previously collected data, make it the only suitable option for the Navy's requirements. The anticipated contract will cost approximately $113,453.84, including initial procurement and three years of maintenance. Market research confirmed that no other vendors offer comparable products. Thus, the exception to full competition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The process included a technical review and estimates to ensure the pricing will be fair to the government. This decision reflects the Navy's commitment to maintaining optimal medical research capabilities while ensuring adherence to operational continuity and standards.
