About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency Healthcare Contracting Division–South issued a sole-source notice of intent on August 4, 2026 to award off-site sterilization and medical instrument maintenance services for Naval Hospital Pensacola, Florida to STERIS Corporation (CAGE 0NWN1), located in Mentor, Ohio, with responses due by August 10, 2026. The procurement is authorized under FAR Subpart 12.102 and does not constitute a competitive solicitation; the government will consider responses solely to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement, a decision within its sole discretion.
The underlying contract covers sterilization, tracking, pickup, and delivery of approximately 150 medical surgical instrumentation trays and peel packs weekly with a 72-hour turnaround requirement. The base period runs September 15, 2026 through September 30, 2026, followed by three one-year option periods extending to September 30, 2029. Funding is Operations and Maintenance. The J&A documents extensive market research—searches of UNICOR, Ability One, GSA schedules, and SBA databases, plus contacts with three regional hospitals—confirming STERIS as the sole source capable of meeting the 72-hour turnaround with requisite personnel, vehicles, and processing facilities. A June 5, 2026 RFI on SAM.gov yielded one unresponsive submission.
Interested contractors must submit a one-page capability narrative, company size classification under NAICS 561910, CAGE, socioeconomic status, and point of contact information to Sylas Younger (sylas.a.younger.civ@health.mil) or Marcus Mattingly (marcus.h.mattingly.civ@health.mil). Future scope may include sterilization and maintenance services for Florida Panhandle military treatment facilities and subordinate clinics.
