About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency is seeking information through a Request for Information (RFI) from organizations capable of developing external quality assurance and proficiency testing procedures for vector-borne disease diagnostics using non-infectious agents. This market research effort focuses on biotechnology research and development (NAICS 541714) with reference laboratory testing capabilities (PSC Q301). Prospective contractors must demonstrate the ability to develop safe testing protocols, validate proficiency testing procedures, demonstrate performance characteristics, and provide analysis of field-expedient capabilities suitable for Department of Defense preventive medicine operations. This RFI does not involve formal evaluation criteria or contract award; rather, responses will be used to assess commercial product and service availability, determine contractor capabilities across small business categories, and inform future acquisition strategy. Interested organizations must submit a white paper limited to 10 pages by May 15, 2026, via email to Benjamin.t.marcus2.civ@health.mil, with no telephone inquiries accepted and no feedback provided to respondents.
No set-aside designations are being used for this procurement opportunity, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the RFI documentation. The RFI does not establish a specific budget or award value range. The anticipated contract envisions a 12-month period of performance with monthly progress reporting requirements and includes four primary deliverables: a draft manual by Month 3, a final manual by Month 4, a validation report by Month 7, and proficiency test results and field-expedient capability analysis by Months 8 and 9 respectively. All work will be performed at the contractor's laboratory facilities in the Continental United States, with the Government providing limited virus-free mosquito samples for confirmation testing only. The Government intends to obtain unlimited data rights in all deliverables to support force health protection programs and potential transition to other contractors or Department of War activities, with 100% compliance acceptance quality levels required across all performance objectives.
