About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency intends to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement for blood bank reagents and related laboratory supplies to support the Navy Marine Readiness Training Command (NMRTC) Sigonella's blood bank operations in Sicily, Italy. This procurement encompasses 29 line items of blood typing and testing reagents, including anti-sera, controls, and albumin products, all of which must comply with American Blood Bank Association (AABB), Navy Blood Program, and FDA standards. The blood bank program is critical to the facility's mission, providing blood transfusions for surgeries and childbirth emergencies, maintaining a blood depot for the European Theatre, and ensuring proper identification of blood units for forward deployment to OCONUS sites. Vendors must submit technical capability statements demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent products and meet strict requirements including four-day delivery times, temperature-controlled shipments with zero missed deliveries, and products arriving before previously received shipments expire. The deadline for interested vendors to submit their technical capability statements is 3:00 PM EST on February 2, 2026.
This procurement is being pursued on a sole-source basis from Instrumentation Laboratory S.P.A. (located in Milano, Italy), with no set-aside restrictions applied. The Blanket Purchase Agreement will be awarded for a 60-month ordering period from February 9, 2026, through February 8, 2031, with unit prices fixed throughout the entire contract period and a minimum guarantee of $10.00. Annual quantities for the 29 line items range from one to 26 units on a standing order basis, reflecting the facility's critical and ongoing need for blood bank testing materials. Delivery will be directed to NMRTC Sigonella at NAS 1 Strada Statale 192 KM 15, Catania-Enna, Sigonella, Sicily. The procurement is classified under NAICS 325414 (Biological Product except Diagnostic Manufacturing) and PSC 6550 (In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits and Sets).
Notice text
This requirement is for the Blanket Purchase Agreement for materials necessary for Navy Marine Readiness Training Command (NMRTC) Sigonella’s Laboratory Department’s Blood Bank. The Laboratory Department’s Blood Bank Program supports inpatients’ needs, ships and other facilities. The program requires materials for safe blood transfusions to render care to patients at U.S NMRTC Sigonella during surgery and childbirth in the event of blood loss. The laboratory is also in charge of the blood depot for the entire European Theatre for contingency purposes. Therefore, materials are also required to determine that all units received or processed are correctly identified prior to use in forward deployment and for shortages of blood for OCONUS European sites. Given the critical nature of the testing performed and that the products required strict temperature control, a local supplier is required to ensure product integrity. Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) soliciting from a single source. The proposed supplier is Instrumentation Laboratory S.P.A., Viale Monza 338, Milano, Italy 20128.
