About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a Biomerieux BacT Alert Virtuo Microbial Detection System to Biomerieux, Inc. for Naval Medical Center San Diego, with a capability-statement challenge deadline of 1000 Pacific Daylight Time, Wednesday, September 23, 2026. The procurement is restricted to Biomerieux based on strict compatibility requirements with existing proprietary laboratory supplies and market research indicating no reasonable expectation of receiving quotes from two or more small businesses for an equivalent integrated system.
The equipment will replace outdated systems and provide comprehensive identification of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens to support critical patient testing, antimicrobial testing, and improved diagnostic capabilities at NMC San Diego's Microbiology Department. The Government will procure one BacT/Alert Virtuo system capable of simultaneously culturing a minimum of 400 culture bottles with continuous incubation and monitoring, one MW 1 Installation Interface with valid ATO compatibility for MHS Genesis, and one Enhanced Warranty covering 12 months of on-site and remote support. The contractor must deliver, install, configure, and start up all equipment with manufacturer-certified personnel and provide comprehensive on-site training for laboratory personnel by 90 days after receipt of order.
Interested vendors may challenge the sole-source justification by submitting a capability statement not exceeding four pages (8.5" x 11", 10-point font minimum) in Microsoft Word or PDF format to Cha-on Gordon (cha-on.p.gordon2.civ@health.mil) or Jennifer E. Collins (jennifer.e.collins23.ctr@health.mil) by the September 23 deadline. The Government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement or proceed with the sole-source award.
