About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a research and development contract to KBR Wyle Services, LLC for continued work on a study examining the mechanisms of radiofrequency interaction with biological systems. This special notice, posted on December 22, 2025, represents the agency's plan to award the contract without competitive bidding. The research will be conducted in support of the United States Air Force 59th Medical Wing and involves clinical evaluation of biomedical effects resulting from high-power microwave overexposure. KBR Wyle Services has been identified as the sole source due to their extensive prior experience with this specific research project, having worked on similar studies for over a decade. The contracting action falls under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC code AN12 (Health R&D Services).
The primary objective of this research initiative is to comprehensively evaluate animals exposed to pulsed or continuous wave high-power microwaves, utilizing advanced neuro-imaging and neurologic protocols to assess biomedical effects. The study will utilize Yucatan miniature swine as the research model for this evaluation. Interested parties who believe they possess the capability to perform this work have until January 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST to submit written responses challenging the sole source determination. Potential contractors seeking to compete for this opportunity must demonstrate their capability and experience with similar research activities related to radiofrequency interaction studies. This represents a unique opportunity for organizations with relevant expertise in biomedical research and radiofrequency effects to contest the current sole source designation and potentially secure the contract.
