About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service intends to award a sole-source lease contract to ALCOR for continued lease of iSED Elite and miniiSED analyzers, including testing equipment, consumables, and maintenance services, on a firm fixed-price basis of $58,875.00.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2) and RFO-FAR 6.103-2, "Unusual and Compelling Urgency." The Government determined that a delay in award would pose substantial and unacceptable risk to discontinuation of in-house Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) laboratory testing across federal laboratory facilities in the Albuquerque Area, adversely impacting clinical operations and patient care delivery. ALCOR equipment is already installed and validated in all IHS federal laboratories in the Albuquerque Area. Full and open competition would result in unacceptable delays; ALCOR is the only responsible source capable of providing required services within the necessary timeframe. Period of performance is one year. The contract was awarded on June 11, 2026. Place of performance is the Albuquerque Area. The acquisition is conducted under RFO-FAR Part 12 procedures applicable to acquisitions below $9 million. Price reasonableness was determined through comparison with previous purchases and an independent Government estimate.
Notice text
The Albuquerque Area Laboratory Programs would like to contract with ALCOR for continued lease of iSED Elite and miniiSED analyzers. Leased contract will include testing equipment, consumables/supplies, and maintenance/PM services. Contract request is not for new analyzers or equipment. Contract price must include equipment, consumables, annual services, and freight charges. Contract will be to lease analyzers for one (1) year. Contract will be a firm fixed priced contract in the amount of $58,875.00.
This justification for other than full and open competition is conducted pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2), as implemented by RFO - FAR 6.103-2, "Unusual and Compelling Urgency." This acquisition is conducted in accordance with RFO - FAR Part 12 procedures applicable to acquisitions below $9 million.
The Government requires the immediate issuance of an emergency contract to ensure continuity of patient care and the uninterrupted delivery of essential laboratory services while a long-term contract, consisting of a base period and four option years, is being developed and awarded.
A delay in contract award would pose a substantial and unacceptable risk to all federal laboratory facilities within the Albuquerque Area, potentially resulting in the discontinuation of in-house laboratory testing for Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). Such disruption would adversely impact clinical operations and compromise the Government's ability to meet its mission requirements for patient care. Due to the urgent and compelling nature of the requirement, and the need to avoid any lapse in critical laboratory services, the Government must proceed with a sole source acquisition. The selected contractor is the only responsible source capable of providing the required services within the necessary timeframe to prevent disruption.
Full and open competition would result in unacceptable delays and is therefore not in the best interest of the Government.
Awarded contract 75H70726P00103 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-06-11.
