About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency is seeking comprehensive animal health testing services for research animal colonies at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) through solicitation HT9425-25-R-E020. The procurement covers diagnostic testing across multiple categories including serology, PCR, microbiology, parasitology, necropsy, histopathology, and environmental sample testing for over 20 different animal species used in medical research. The contract will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement with firm fixed pricing, requiring 100% compliance with detailed testing requirements and submission of legible reports within specific timeframes ranging from 48 hours to 21 days depending on the test type. Proposals will be evaluated using a "best value trade-off" methodology with three factors in descending order of importance: Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price, with non-cost factors being significantly more important than cost. The proposal submission deadline is September 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with proposals requiring three volumes: Technical Approach (15-page limit), Past Performance, and Price.
This opportunity is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 541990 with a size standard of $19.5 million. The current incumbent contractor is VRL Maryland LLC holding award number W81XWH-20-D-0066.

The contract includes a guaranteed minimum order of $25,000 and allows for orders to be placed via government purchase card for amounts under $25,000 or through written delivery orders for amounts exceeding $25,000. All services will be performed at Fort Detrick, Maryland, with service acceptance hours Monday through Friday from 0800-1500 hours.
