Notice of Intent to Sole Source
HT941026N0060
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE SUPPLY CONTRACT AND IS
NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), Healthcare Contracting Division – West (HCD-W), San Diego, intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed price contract for Data Innovations Instrument Manager Licenses and Drivers for all analyzers used at Armed Services Blood Donor Center (ASBBC) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a), for purchases valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, only one source reasonably available to:
Locked Core Tech, LLC (Mission First Solutions LLC) 18304 Cabin RD Triangle, Virginia 22172
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services; the business size standard is $34.0M. The Product Service Code (PSC) is DA01 - IT and Telecom - Business Application/application Development Support Services (labor).
The objective of this sole source award is to procure Data Innovations Instrument Manager (DI IM) middleware platform for the Armed Services Blood Bank Center (ASBBC) located at U. S. Naval Hospital Okinawa (USNHO), Japan.
The requirement is to procure and implement the Data Innovations Instrument Manager (DI IM) middleware through Locked Core Tech LLC (formally Mission First Solutions LLC) to establish automated bidirectional interfaces between five infectious disease testing analyzers at the Armed Services Blood Bank Center (ASBBC) Okinawa and the Enterprise Blood Management System – Donor (EBMS- D). The DI IM middleware will automate transmission of test orders, specimen data, quality control information, and finalized results between laboratory instruments and EBMS-D, eliminating manual data entry and reducing the risk of transcription and reporting errors. The solution will improve workflow efficiency, enhance data integrity and regulatory compliance, minimize turnaround time for infectious disease testing, and support the rapid release and availability of donor testing results for blood product processing and distribution operations.
Only two sites within the DoD maintain donor infectious disease testing capabilities: Lackland AFB Blood Donor Center and ASBBC Okinawa. This severely limits the Government’s options for middleware solutions, as interoperability and standardization between these two sites is critical to mission readiness. Currently, technicians at ASBBC Okinawa are required to manually enter results, a process that introduces safety concerns due to transcription errors, and requires two technicians to verify results.
Locked Core Tech LLC, utilizing the Data Innovations Instrument Manager (DI IM) middleware platform, is the only known source capable of providing a fully validated and DoD-acceptable middleware solution that interfaces multiple blood donor infectious disease analyzers with the Laboratory Information System (LIS) while satisfying all Department of Defense cybersecurity, Defense Health Agency (DHA) accreditation, and enterprise interoperability requirements.
Period of Performance:
Base Period: 01 September 2026 to 31 August 2027 Option Period 1: 01 September 2027 to 31 August 2028
Option Period 2: 01 September 2028 to 31 August 2029 Option Period 3: 01 September 2029 to 31 August 2030 Option Period 4: 01 September 2030 to 31 August 2031
Services will be performed at the ASBBC Okinawa facility, with a combination of onsite (minimum of one week during initial implementation) and remote support thereafter.
Location:
U. S. Naval Hospital Okinawa, Japan Building: Camp Foster building 968 Room: Room 206 and Room 203A
Based on market research, Locked Core Tech, LLC is the only source that can meet the Government’s minimum requirements for the DI IM middleware platform.
