Outsourced Sterile Processing Services including Logistics

The Department of the Army Medical Command has issued a Notice of Intent for Sole Source procurement regarding Outsourced Sterile Processing Services including Logistics for the Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The government intends to award this contract solely to STERIS Corporation of Mentor, Ohio, citing that the company is the only offeror capable of supporting the highly specialized sterilization services within BACH's required turnaround times. This procurement falls under NAICS code 561910 with a size standard of $19.5 million and is classified under the Medical-Surgery PSC category. The special notice was posted on September 17, 2025, with responses due by September 22, 2025, and the government plans to award the contract around September 27, 2025.

The primary purpose of this sole source procurement is to address the critical situation at BACH where the Sterile Processing Department is currently inoperable, creating significant risks to patient safety and hospital operations. The contract will provide full sterilization services for surgical and procedural medical equipment trays and Da Vinci Arms with comprehensive logistical support, requiring a 24-hour turnaround time and adherence to strict ANSI/AAMI industry standards. Organizations interested in demonstrating their capabilities for future acquisitions must submit their qualifications electronically to the contract specialist Justin C. Balster by 3:00 PM EST on September 22, 2025. The contract includes a 12-month base period with a six-month option, covering performance from September 26, 2025, through March 25, 2027. While the government reserves the discretion to maintain this as a sole source award based on responses received, interested contractors may still submit capability information for consideration in future related procurements.
