About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) issued a Notice of Intent on April 28, 2026, regarding a sole-source contract award to Sinclair Bio Resources, LLC for the provision of Sinclair miniature swine lineages. This is a Special Notice set aside for total small business, published as a Justification and Approval document that formally announces the government's intent to award a follow-on Blanket Purchase Agreement without full and open competition. The procurement is categorized under NAICS 112210 (Hog and Pig Farming) and PSC 8820 (Live Animals, Not Raised For Food). The contract will be administered by the DHACA Research & Development Contracting Division and funded under Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) accounts. This solicitation represents a continuation of a long-standing relationship with Sinclair Bio Resources, which has previously supplied minipigs to the government under contracts dating back to 2013.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to transport and deliver Sinclair miniature swine along with incidental services including device implants, tattoos, castration, sling training, and diagnostic services spanning a five-year ordering period from June 17, 2026, through June 16, 2031. Interested vendors who believe they can provide equivalent Sinclair miniature swine lineages must submit capability statements by 1000 Eastern Time on May 12, 2026, via email to ryan.r.jorgensen.civ@health.mil and tonya.r.kreps.civ@health.mil in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format; phone calls will not be accepted. The government's justification for sole sourcing is predicated on the substantial duplication of costs that would result from switching suppliers, as changing minipig sources would compromise data integrity in ongoing research and require expensive research repetition. While this is not a formal Request for Quotations, the government reserves the right to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement or continue with the sole-source award based on capability statements received.
