N0018926RB011 - Drug Demand Reduction Program, Fentanyl/Norfentanyl Immunoassay Reagent Kits

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command seeks FDA and quality management documented fentanyl/norfentanyl immunoassay reagent kits compatible with Beckman Coulter AU5800 series analyzers, with Step One technical proposals due June 3 and Step Two proposals due June 26. The procurement is a women-owned small business (WOSB) set-aside structured as a firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract under FAR Part 12 simplified acquisition procedures.

Place of performance is Portsmouth, Virginia. The NAICS code is 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing) with a small business size standard of $1,250. The reagents must detect fentanyl and norfentanyl in human urine samples for use in the Department of War Drug Demand Reduction Program. The estimated quantity is 30,000,000 kits over a five-year base ordering period (August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031), with individual orders ranging from a minimum of 1,000 to a maximum of 6,000,000 kits per order and government minimum/maximum orders of 5,000 to 30,000,000 kits. The requirement accommodates up to 500,000 tests per month.

The two-step source selection process requires Step One technical proposals to demonstrate FDA authorization or ISO certification, SOW compliance with OEM requirements, and reagent preparation and calibration information, evaluated on Pass/Fail. Only viable sources proceed to Step Two, which includes performance testing at Department of War forensic toxicology laboratories. Offerors must ship sufficient kits for at least 5,000 tests within five business days of viability notice. Step Two non-price evaluation covers performance test results, linearity, sensitivity/predictive rates, specificity, ease of preparation, and past performance. Small business subcontracting goals include 30% small business, 5% small disadvantaged business, 5% women-owned small business, 3% HUBZone, and 3% service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Questions are due May 29 to contracting officer Austin Waller at Austin.p.waller.civ@us.navy.mil.
