This Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document provides justification for a sole source contract award for extended warranty services for BioFire FilmArray 2.0 devices. The Department of State seeks to award a sole source contract to the original equipment manufacturer, BioFire Diagnostics, to provide extended warranty services for BioFire FilmArray 2.0 devices currently in use at various Department of State locations. The JOFOC cites that BioFire is a sole source as only they can provide warranty and maintenance services for their proprietary devices, and switching to an alternate provider would require replacing the existing devices still within their useful life. The sole source award would be for a one year base period of performance with four one-year option periods.
