About this opportunity

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for pathology laboratory microtomes to Leica Microsystems, Inc. The procurement is being conducted on behalf of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) in Bethesda, MD, to support the Anatomic Pathology Department's tissue processing and diagnostic requirements. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price arrangement for eleven (11) HistoCore AUTOCUT Motorized Microtomes, with the procurement classified under NAICS Code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The DHA's Northeastern Healthcare Operations-Contracting Division (NEHO-CD) is managing this acquisition, which falls under Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments.

The Special Notice serves as a notification of the government's intention to award a non-competitive contract, with justification based on Leica's unique equipment capabilities, existing facility infrastructure compatibility, and alignment with current training protocols. Interested parties have until 10:00 AM EST on July 11, 2025, to submit capabilities information demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent products or services. Contractors may respond via email to the designated contracting officers at philip.b.atwell.ctr@health.mil and erica.s.oh.civ@health.mil. The anticipated delivery timeline is six months after receipt of order, and the procurement utilizes Leica Microsystems' CAGE Code 0F735. While the notice indicates a sole source intent, it provides an opportunity for other qualified manufacturers in the analytical laboratory instrument sector to present their capabilities and potentially compete for this specialized medical equipment requirement.
