About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC) has issued a Special Notice regarding a follow-on bridge action for a sole-source contract with Immucor, Inc. The notice concerns a lease and service agreement for NEO Iris Blood Analyzers supporting the Laboratory Transfusion Service and Armed Service Blood Bank Center at the 59th Medical Wing, Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, located at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland. The contract is being awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, with Immucor Inc. identified as the sole source provider due to the specialized nature of their closed-system analyzers. The current contract is set to expire on December 3, 2024, and the government requires additional rental time due to unforeseen delays. The procurement is classified as a Total Small Business set-aside under the NAICS category 532490 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to bridge a service gap for critical medical equipment by extending the current contract with Immucor Inc. from December 4, 2024, to April 3, 2025. The contract covers maintenance support, services, and software revisions for the NEO Iris Blood Analyzer, with Immucor being the exclusive provider of both the analyzers and compatible reagents as specified in their operator manual. Contractors should note that this is not a solicitation or request for quote, but a government notification of intent to proceed with a sole-source action. The opportunity is restricted to small businesses, and potential contractors must recognize the specialized nature of the equipment that limits competitive bidding. The solicitation includes two 4-month Contract Line Items (CLINs) for rental and service fees, with quotes required to be submitted by December 3, 2024, at 1:00 PM CST. Award will be based on technical acceptability and price reasonableness, with the primary objective of maintaining uninterrupted support for critical medical diagnostic equipment.
