About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for refrigerator monitoring alarm system maintenance services. The East Services Branch, Health Readiness Contracting Office (HRCO) at Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, Texas intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Rees Scientific Corporation of Ewing, New Jersey. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows sole source acquisitions for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold when only one source is reasonably available. The contract will support the United States Army Centralized Allergen Extract Laboratory (USACAEL) at Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center in Fort Meade, Maryland. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.
The purpose of this sole source procurement is to provide specialized maintenance services for the Rees Scientific CentronSQL Environmental Control Alarm System currently operating in the USACAEL laboratory. Performance requirements include annual calibration, maintenance, and support services, specifically involving single-point calibration of CO2 sensors using NIST traceable instruments. The government justifies the sole source approach by stating that awarding to any other source would likely result in substantial cost duplication or unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. Interested contractors have until September 19, 2025, to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. All responsible sources are eligible to participate and may submit concerns regarding the sole source intent to Contracting Officer Lorena Cruz. The notice emphasizes that the procurement involves highly specialized services requiring specific expertise with the existing Rees Scientific alarm system.
