Opportunity Summary

The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to negotiate a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity requirements type contract with Promega Corporation for the purchase of DNA reagents. This procurement, identified under solicitation number W81XWH12R0003, supports the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory. The requirement falls under NAICS 325414 Biological Product (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing and PSC 65 Medical, Dental & Veterinary Equipment & Supplies. The proposed contract structure includes a base year followed by three one-year option periods, with an estimated total value of $4,454,640.00.

The justification for the sole source award to Promega Corporation is based on the laboratory’s status as an American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors accredited forensic facility. To maintain accreditation, the laboratory must adhere to strict Quality Assurance and Standard Operating Procedures that require consistency and continuity in test procedures. Because the lab has validated specific Promega products for forensic identification, utilizing alternative products would violate the consistency required for accurate results. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), the government maintains that only one responsible source can satisfy these requirements.

Interested parties may submit their capability statements or proposals to Kimberly Hannan at Fort Detrick, Maryland, by the response deadline of January 27, 2012. The government will use information received to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice includes one attachment containing additional documentation and the sole source justification, which was updated on December 13, 2011.
