Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on the award 36C26125P1273, awarded to E3 Diagnostics for $36,215 (08/27/25–11/18/25), with prior work described as an Audioscan Verifit 2. The current requirement includes Audioscan Verifit 2 (quantity 2) with specific configuration items such as the hearing aid verification test box, couplers, probe dock/microphones, and integration with NOAH Audioscan software, which aligns with the previously supplied Verifit 2 equipment and suggests a continuation of supplying the same diagnostic testing system.
