About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source contract for blood testing and collection services. The Defense Health Agency's Southeastern Healthcare Operation Division is awarding a contract to Creative Testing Solutions (located in Tempe, AZ) for blood testing services at the Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune. The contract covers comprehensive blood donor panel testing, including screening for infectious diseases such as HIV, HTLV, HBsAg, HCV, West Nile virus, and others, with a requirement to complete testing within 24 hours and provide transportation of blood products.
The contract is structured with a base period from 03/01/2025 to 02/28/2026 and an option period from 03/01/2026 to 09/30/2026, funded through Operations and Maintenance funds. The sole source justification is based on Creative Testing Solutions being the only distributor in North Carolina capable of meeting the Military Treatment Facility's requirements for timely blood collection and testing, with testing facilities located in-state to ensure compliance with FDA and CDC guidelines. The document indicates market research was conducted, and the requirement will be synopsized on SAM.gov to allow potential competition in future procurements.
