About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command, through the East Services Branch Health Readiness Contracting Office at Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a firm fixed price purchase order to Rees Scientific Corporation. The notice, posted on February 5, 2026, indicates the Government's intent to award the contract on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The requirement encompasses preventive maintenance, repair, validation and calibration, hardware, and system software support and upgrades for Government-owned Temperature Sensitive Medical Product (TSMP) Monitoring Systems located at the Ireland Army Health Clinic in Fort Knox, Kentucky. The sole source justification is based on the provision of highly specialized services and the determination that award to any other source would result in substantial cost duplication or unacceptable delays.
The objective of this procurement is to ensure continuous monitoring of TSMP systems to maintain storage temperatures between 2-8 degrees Celsius in compliance with FDA requirements, manufacturer specifications, and DHA AI 4140.01. Interested contractors must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the February 13, 2026 deadline for consideration by the Government. There are no specific eligibility restrictions beyond being a responsible source; however, the Government has indicated its intent to award solely to Rees Scientific Corporation based on the specialized nature of the work required. Contractors with concerns regarding this sole source justification may contact Contracting Officer Sara Fetterolf or Contract Specialist Mohamed Koroma at the provided email addresses with the Notice ID number referenced, allowing for potential challenges to the sole source determination prior to award.
