Immunohistochemistry Stainer and Supplies

The Department of the Army Medical Command seeks to procure two fully automated immunohistochemistry staining systems along with the necessary reagents, equipment, maintenance, training, and supplies to perform diagnostic testing of patient tissue specimens at Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The contractor must provide all equipment, installation, training, maintenance, technical support, reagents, antibodies, consumables, and other items to meet the requirements of the statement of work. Pricing shall be an all-inclusive cost per kit. The base period of performance is February 2021 through September 2021 with four optional one-year extensions. Questions are due by December 10, 2020, with proposals due on the same date.

There is no set-aside designation. The place of performance is Fort Liberty, North Carolina. The solicitation requires the contractor to provide two instruments to address the agency's unpredictable workload. Total cost per test must be included and cover all expenses. The agency needs flexibility to use third party detection systems if needed. One instrument with over 72 hours of downtime in a month or 6 failures in a year would be replaced.
