About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency has awarded a sole-source contract to Antimicrobial Therapy, Inc. for an online subscription to Sanford Guide with Stewardship Assist on September 28, 2026, under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1).
The justification rests on Sanford Guide's unique position as the only infectious disease treatment reference that delivers nation-wide recommendations through a single platform with facility-specific integration capabilities and per-bed pricing. Market research identified two competing products—Firstline and Local with Unbound Medicine—but both were determined insufficient: neither provides continuously updated evidence-based recommendations or antimicrobial spectra tables. A Notice of Intent to make a sole source award was published on SAM.gov (HT0011-26-RFI-0248) on July 24, 2026, with a 15-day response period; no interested parties responded.
The contract establishes a five-year firm fixed-price award with a 12-month base period (September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027) and four one-year option periods extending through September 29, 2031, plus an additional FAR 52.217-8 clause period through March 29, 2032. All funding is designated as Operation and Maintenance (O&M). The subscription will consolidate current subscriptions held by 14 military treatment facilities into a single enterprise license, aligning with DHA's FY 2024-2029 strategic goal to integrate military health system capabilities and reduce procurement redundancies and administrative costs. The contracting officer determined pricing fair and reasonable based on comparison with other membership agencies and absence of significant cost increases over five years. Place of performance is web-based for all DHA healthcare providers.
Notice text
The acquisition provides a web-based subscription to the Sanford Guide with Stewardship Assist for all DHA healthcare providers.

Awarded contract HT0011-26-P-E030 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-09-28.
