About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Global Acquisitions, Acquisitions Management (A/GA/AM) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to sole-source a Firm-Fixed Price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with BioFire Defense LLC for laboratory testing supplies. The procurement will be conducted under the Multiple-Award Schedule Program using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-G(a)(l)(i)(B), which allows for single-source acquisition when only one vendor can provide unique or highly specialized supplies. The notice specifically targets laboratory testing supplies from BioFire Defense, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, with the primary NAICS code 325413 for In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing. The acquisition is being made on behalf of the Office of Global Operations, Logistics Operations and Supply Chain Management (A/GO/OPS/SCM). A signed Limited Sources Justification document supports the sole-source determination.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to procure specialized laboratory testing supplies, including FilmArray RP2.1 panel tests, Gastrointestinal Panel Tests, Global Fever Special Pathogens Tests, and related control kits. Interested contractors have until Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 11:00 AM EST to submit a capabilities statement in response to the notice. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the government will consider responses received within 10 days of posting. The BPA is expected to have a two-year performance period with an estimated ceiling value of $3,600,000. Eligibility is effectively limited to BioFire Defense LLC, as the government has determined they are the only source capable of providing the required laboratory testing supplies at the necessary quality level. The procurement is unique in that it supports the Department of State's ability to conduct medical testing in unconventional spaces at embassies worldwide, requiring self-contained test pouches that can be used without clean room environments.
