About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency's Healthcare Contracting Division posted a redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole-source acquisition of consumables, reagents, assays, and the lease of two Hologic Panther Plus Analyzer systems to support the 59th Medical Wing Microbiology and Immunology Laboratory at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center in San Antonio, Texas. The sole-source award to Hologic, Inc. under contract HT940826DE002 was justified based on the company's unique capability to meet multiple critical requirements, including the laboratory's need to process 500 tests within an 8-hour period, strict physical space constraints limiting analyzer dimensions to 57 inches (width) × 39 inches (depth) × 69 inches (height), and the exclusive availability of the complete required test panel (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Bacterial Vaginosis, Candida species, and Trichomonas vaginalis) through Hologic alone. Market research evaluated competing systems from Roche, Abbott, BD, and Cepheid but determined each failed to meet one or more minimum requirements due to excessive size or insufficient throughput. The single-award, firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract was awarded on March 17, 2026, with a contract period extending from February 10, 2026, through February 9, 2029, consisting of a base period and two option periods, all funded under Operations and Maintenance, though the specific contract value remains redacted. A notice of intent to sole-source was published on SAM.gov on January 8, 2026, with a 15-day response period, during which only Hologic responded to the opportunity.
