About this opportunity
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences announced its intent to sole-source a firm-fixed-price contract for an automated water bottle filling station with acidifier to Avidity Science, LLC, with responses due by September 20, 2026. The system is designed for vivarium and laboratory animal research facilities. USU justifies sole sourcing on the basis of replacing an existing Avidity unit at end of life, facility infrastructure specifically sized for Avidity equipment, existing inventory of Avidity acid and replacement components, and an active service contract with Avidity for two other units. Standardization with a single vendor reduces facility storage costs and improves administrative and maintenance efficiency. Under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) procedures, all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and that the offeror can meet stated needs. Responses must be submitted via email to the contact listed in the notice by closing date. The Government will evaluate responses to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement.
