About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Eustis issued a sole-source justification for annual preventive maintenance, repair, and support services for critical DNA analysis equipment operated by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL) and the Forensic Exploitation Department (FXD). The contract covers maintenance and repair services for specialized Applied Biosystems equipment, including four 7500 Real Time PCR Systems, five 3500xL Genetic Analyzers, six Veriti Thermal Cyclers, eleven PROFLEX 96-WELL SAMPLE BLOCKS, and two RAPIDHIT ID SYSTEMS, with services encompassing labor, genuine spare parts, travel expenses, and quarterly temperature verification. Life Technologies Corporation was awarded the contract as the sole provider, justified under FAR 6.302-1 based on the finding that Life Technologies is the only authorized and qualified company to maintain and repair the specified equipment, as major sub-assemblies are exclusively available through Life Technologies service engineers and the company does not authorize third-party service providers in North America. The base period contract value is $577,971.95 with the award projected for January 2026 using fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance funds. Market research confirmed the absence of alternative domestic providers, and the sole-source justification establishes a Class J&A to cover all future actions for these items and services, ensuring USACIL avoids significant service delays, repair prioritization issues, elevated costs, and extended instrument downtime that could compromise the current 60-day case analysis requirement.
