About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition issued by the 82d Contracting Squadron, Karamürsel Air Base, dated 20 April 2017. The contracting activity seeks to procure cost per test kits and reagents for the current Roche Cobas 6000 c501/e601 chemical analyzer under existing contract FA302021D0003. The purchase request identification number is HT1126 GFEBS PR 12491075, with an estimated contract cost that is not specified in the document.
The justification supports a sole source award to Roche Diagnostics Inc. based on FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The analyzer processes approximately 98,000 tests annually in support of 70,800 medical appointments conducted by the 82d Medical Group. The document emphasizes that Roche is the sole provider of the Cobas 6000 c501/e601 analyzer, and proprietary rights prevent the use of reagents or chemical supplies from competing vendors. The integrated platform, test menu, connectivity to the medical/laboratory information system, and technician training are exclusively configured for the Roche analyzer. The document notes that all laboratory technicians are already trained on the system, minimizing transition delays and eliminating the need for additional training. The Contracting Officer Kevin Bowers approved the sole source determination on 15 September 2026, with approval by Carri Dulaney, Section Chief of the Base/Specialized Acquisition Team, on 18 September 2026.
