About this opportunity

This Justification & Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks to award a sole source contract to MicroThermics, Inc. for a high-temperature short-time (HTST) pilot-scale pasteurizer. The FDA urgently requires this specialized equipment to conduct research on potential milk contamination due to an emerging virus in cattle, and determined that MicroThermics is the only vendor capable of meeting the urgent timeline. The estimated value of the acquisition is $216,000, and the FDA will use price analysis techniques to determine a fair and reasonable price. The sole source award is justified under the "unusual and compelling urgency" exception, as the FDA found no other domestic manufacturers able to provide the required HTST pasteurizer with the necessary features and lead time.
