About this award
The U.S. Defense Health Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract worth $228,561.40 to Life Technologies Corporation, a manufacturer of scientific instruments, reagents, and consumables. The contract is for the delivery and installation of one Applied Biosystems 3500xL Genetic Analyzer, which will be used by the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) DNA Operations Laboratory. The AFMES DNA lab is an accredited forensic testing facility that requires specialized, validated equipment and reagents to support its DNA profiling and identification work. This purchase order is not associated with a larger contract vehicle, and no set-aside was used. Life Technologies is the sole manufacturer and reseller of the 3500xL system, which has been validated by AFMES for use with specific STR kits and mtDNA sequencing chemistry. Standardizing on this platform is critical to ensure quality and consistency in the lab's forensic DNA testing procedures.
