This justification outlines the intent to award a contract to Stryker Corporation as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for preventive maintenance and emergency repair services. The estimated value of this requirement is $547,159.44.

Set-Aside & Justification

While the opportunity metadata indicates a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside, the accompanying Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) explicitly states that market research confirmed no other authorized sources, including SDVOSBs, can perform these specialized OEM services. The JOFOC concludes that awarding to a non-OEM would incur significant duplication of costs for training and tooling, making competition impractical.

Market Research & Cost Reasonableness

Market research conducted found no other authorized sources for these proprietary services. Historical awards for similar services have also been sole-sourced to OEMs. The Contracting Officer will ensure cost reasonableness by comparing pricing to historical data and OEM rates.
