Sole Source Justification-Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification for a supply contract to provide Blood Bank Reagent testing supplies, including equipment, maintenance, and support, for the Bayne Jones Army Community Hospital (BJACH) in Fort Johnson, LA.

The U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The contract will provide a fully automated, discrete random-access analyzer system capable of performing all required blood bank testing services. Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics will be responsible for furnishing the testing instruments, reagents, consumables, maintenance, and support at no extra cost to the government. The requirement falls under NAICS code 325413, In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The justification for the sole source award is based on only one source being reasonably available to fulfill the urgent requirement due to a backlog in the MHS Genesis Network. Interested vendors are requested to respond by July 3, 2024.
