About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Medical Command is procuring automated Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and In-situ Hybridization (ISH) slide staining platforms, antibody stains, reagents, and supplies to support the Anatomic Pathology mission at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington. The contractor must provide two fully automated staining platforms capable of processing at least 80 slides per eight-hour shift and performing over 130 different stains, along with all peripheral equipment including computers, printers, barcode scanners, and backup systems. Key requirements include FDA-approved platforms with current software, comprehensive operator training for up to 8 staff members, 24/7 customer support, and complete maintenance services at no additional cost to the government. The evaluation will focus on technical capability demonstrating specific experience with IHC slide staining platforms, technical documentation showing platform capabilities, and relevant past performance. Following Amendment 1, the proposal deadline has been extended to August 11, 2025, and offerors may now submit alternate line items based on industry standard practices in lieu of the price-per-test structure.

This procurement is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with firm fixed pricing and includes a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside designation under NAICS code 334516 with a 1,000 employee size standard. No current contractors or incumbents are specifically identified in the solicitation materials. The contract features a 120-month performance period from October 2025 to September 2030, with estimated annual testing volumes ranging from 2 to 425 tests per stain type and a total estimated quantity of 35,690 tests under one contract line item. The performance location is Joint Base Lewis McChord in Tacoma, Washington, where the contractor will be responsible for installation, validation, training, and ongoing maintenance of the staining platforms. Amendment 1 removed the separate maintenance contract line item and incorporated those costs into the monthly platform lease pricing, while also establishing IDIQ contract minimum and maximum amounts to be finalized at award based on the winning contractor's prices.
