About this file
This document is a Justification for Sole Source Procurement under $250,000 for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The procurement is for a yearly maintenance agreement for the Dynex Agility automated system for ELISA serological test performance, with a specific serial number 1GXA0099. The procurement is being conducted through the CDC's Dengue Branch in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a procurement request number 000HCRJD-2025-91936.
The justification for sole sourcing is based on the brand-name requirement, as Dynex Technologies, Inc. originally designed and developed the Agility system. The Program Office reached out to four potential offerors but only found two viable options: Dynex Technologies, Inc. and Bio-Nuclear of Puerto Rico. Both companies can work with the Dynex brand-name products and provide service to the Dynex Agility equipment. The Program Office will select the alternative that provides the lowest price to the government. The document includes certification from the Program Office official and indicates that no other products or services were considered due to the specific software and technical expertise required for maintaining the Agility equipment.

2. Other facts supporting sole source procurement:
a. What can this product/service do that other products/services cannot do?
Dynex Technologies, Inc. designed and develop the Agility automated system for ELISA serological test performance, and they have provided maintenance service for this equipment since it was purchased by the DB lab. As developers of the Agility technology, the Dynex technical experts are up to date with specific trouble shooting protocols and software changes for the Agility equipment and have always been available to provide service in a timely manner whenever requested.
b. What other products/services were considered and why did they not meet the need?
No other products or services were considered for the calibration and preventive maintenance of the Agility equipment. Dynex brand-name products and services are essential especially when software changes and updates need to be implemented.
