The originating Special Notice, posted October 19, 2020 with award announced March 24, 2021, cited FAR 6.302-1 sole-source authority. The contract was awarded under Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Division, with subsequent contract administration transferred to ACC-APG Edgewood.
Task order activity under this vehicle spans COVID-19 response, viral hemorrhagic fever preparedness, and routine diagnostic system procurement.
