About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command issued a sole-source justification notice for contract W81K0226DA008 awarding an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to Pathology Consultants Inc. for clinical and anatomic pathology testing services at Bassett Army Community Hospital in Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The contract encompasses blood, serum, urine, tissue, feces, mucosal, body fluid, spinal fluid, and provider-to-provider consultation services with a performance period extending from June 1, 2026, through November 30, 2029, consisting of a base period of one year and two one-year option periods. The government justified limiting competition to Pathology Consultants Inc., located in Fairbanks, Alaska, based on the vendor's unique qualifications and critical geographic proximity, as the hospital's remote Alaskan location and severe weather conditions necessitate rapid 24-48 hour turnaround times for pathology testing to comply with College of Pathologist and Joint Commission accreditation standards. Market research confirmed that while other laboratories can perform similar testing, only Pathology Consultants Inc. maintains full accreditation and can reliably meet the required expedited timeframes due to its local presence. The specific dollar amount for this award was not disclosed in the contracting documents, though the procurement was processed under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for fixed-price services funded by the Defense Health Program in Fiscal Year 2026.
