5. Rationale Justifying Use of Authority Cited: Diversified Laboratory Repair (DLR) focuses on high quality services that are cost effective to their customers. With over ninety years of service to the scientific industry, their factory trained service technicians specialize in the repair and maintenance of laboratory equipment. DLR is available to provide around the clock to assist with equipment emergencies. DLR service engineers are able to offer calibration services for laboratory equipment. DLR is available to assist in the relocation of equipment and materials.

The temperature will be maintained and monitored throughout the relocation and documented to ensure the integrity of the samples. DLR is able to perform validation services on laboratory equipment. Utilizing instrumentation and existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), the

contractor can perform temperature mapping, Installation Qualification, Operating Qualification, and Performance Qualification. The Government has determined that the highly specialized requirements, particularly for maintaining large-scale walk-in freezers and transporting sensitive bio-specimens, significantly limit the number of qualified local companies and therefore, DLR is the only available source capable of providing all required services.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: A Presolicitation Notice was posted to SAM.gov for 15 days, no responses were received.

7. Actions to Increase Competition/Remove or Overcome any Barriers to Competition: The Government will continue to monitor the marketplace.

8. Market Research: Market research was completed in February 2026 by AFHSD. A review of the General Services Administration Professional Services Schedule was conducted and did not find any viable sources capable of providing the required services. The Government also explored websites of companies known for bio-banking services and no companies were found to meet the Governments requirements.

9. Other Facts:

a. Procurement History:

(1) Is this a new requirement? No

(2) If 9.a.(1) is No, was the action just prior to this one competed? Yes, the previous award was competed as a small business set-aside.

(3) If 9.a.(2) is Yes, what has changed where this action cannot be competed? No other sources have expressed interest in this requirement, and therefore competition is not viable.

b. Additional Information: A Presolcitation notice was posted in order to gain knowledge of the marketplace, no other vendor expressed interest. DLR has been the only vendor proposing on this requirement for the past 10 years.
