About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency has issued a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract to Roche Diagnostic Corporation for the lease of a Chemistry/Immunoassay analyzer system along with all required reagents and consumables. Posted on March 9, 2026, this notice announces the government's intention to procure laboratory analytical equipment under non-competitive procedures authorized by 10 USC 2304(c)(1), citing only one responsible source as justification. The equipment falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6630 (Chemical Analysis Instruments). This is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation will be issued; however, interested parties may submit clear and convincing evidence demonstrating why competition should be considered. The contracting action will proceed under Other than Full and Open Procedure in accordance with FAR Part 6 and commercial procedures under FAR Part 12.
The Chemistry/Immunoassay analyzer must meet specific performance specifications including capacity for 750 chemistry tests per hour and 120 immunoassay tests per hour, with 73 on-board reagent positions and on-board sample management capabilities such as clot detection, foam detection, and hemolysis assessment. The lease agreement includes a one-year initial term with four one-year renewal options, covering the analyzer system, workstation, monitor, Uninterruptible Power Supply, installation, maintenance, and training support for Sheppard Medical Group. The contractor must provide factory-certified technicians with documented training on the specified equipment, maintain access to manufacturer spare parts, perform at least two preventive maintenance inspections annually, and ensure same-day emergency response during business hours with completion by 4:30 PM the next business day.
