About this opportunity
The Department of Defense, through the Medical Readiness Contract Office-W at Fort Carson Health Contracting Branch, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for maintenance and services of a Hologic 3D Mammography System located at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Fort Bliss, Texas. The agency intends to award a firm fixed-price contract to Hologic Sales and Service, LLC under the authority of simplified procedures for commercial items where only one source is reasonably available. This notice was posted on August 27, 2025, with a due date of September 1, 2025, and the contract award is expected on or about August 29, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325413 for In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract period includes a base year from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with three additional option years.
The purpose of this sole source procurement is to ensure continued maintenance and technical support for the specialized 3D mammography system, which utilizes proprietary technology that only the manufacturer can service. The contracting officer determined that Hologic is the only reasonable source available due to exclusive proprietary rights, the need to maintain warranty compliance, and patient safety considerations. This is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals, and the government will not honor requests for capability briefings or telephonic inquiries. Market research confirmed no alternative vendors exist, as evidenced by sources sought notices that received no responses from other interested parties. The contract will include preventative maintenance, software and hardware updates, routine and non-routine services, annual calibration, and 24/7 technical support. The government retains sole discretion in its determination not to compete this requirement, emphasizing that continued manufacturer support minimizes operational risks and ensures medical equipment effectiveness.
