About this opportunity
The Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West, part of the Department of the Army Medical Command, is conducting market research to identify sources for RT-PCR molecular testing technologies for Brooke Army Medical Center's Department of Pathology and Area Laboratory Services. The procurement seeks three FDA-approved random-access multiplex testing platforms capable of processing viral load, HPV, sexually transmitted infection (STI), and respiratory panel tests, including comprehensive screening for Hepatitis B/C, HIV-1, Cytomegalovirus, and COVID-19. Key contract requirements include a minimum throughput of 300 tests per 8-hour shift, MHS Genesis connectivity, uninterruptible power supply, and 24/7 technical support with a 24-hour repair response time. Vendors must submit capability statements of no more than 10 pages to Colleen Rye at colleen.m.rye.civ@health.mil by December 30, 2024 at 12:00 PM CST. The evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, FDA approvals, and ability to meet specific testing requirements for this military medical facility.
Currently, no specific set-aside has been definitively established, though the government may pursue small business set-asides based on market research responses. Notably, the incumbent contractor Roche will not be considered for this procurement. The contract will cover a base period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, with three additional one-year option periods potentially extending through September 30, 2029. Annual testing volumes will range significantly, with projections from 1,152 tests for certain viral screenings to 60,672 tests for HPV screening. The procurement will be structured as a cost-per-test agreement, requiring the contractor to provide all equipment, reagents, consumables, controls, maintenance, and training. Multiple awards are possible, and the contract serves as the sole evaluation site for U.S. Air Force and Army HIV testing, mandating strict compliance with existing limit of detection standards.
