About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) at Fort Detrick, Maryland issued a pre-solicitation notice of intent to conduct a sole-source procurement with NOVA Biomedical (200 Prospect Street, Malden, Massachusetts 02453) for a NOVA Stat Profile Prime Plus VET analyzer under FAR 12.102(a). NOVA Biomedical is identified as the only responsible source capable of providing a veterinary-use blood gas and electrolyte analyzer with multi-species application capability. The Government states that inability to obtain this instrument will render toxicological studies incomplete and deny the Physical Health directorate adequate data for risk management decisions affecting warfighter health, safety, readiness, and lethality. The acquisition is conducted under simplified acquisition procedures with no small business set-aside. Classified under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a $1 million small business size standard, this is not a competitive solicitation. However, any party interested in challenging the sole-source determination may submit technical data and cost information demonstrating equivalent capability. Capability statements received by the close of this notice will be evaluated to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement; the Government reserves discretion to proceed with competition based on responses. Interested parties should submit email capability statements in PDF, MS Word, or Excel format to Brian Miller.
Notice text
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) in Fort Detrick, MD intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW RFO 12.102(a)) with NOVA Biomedical, 200 Prospect, MA 02453, as the only responsible source that can provide a NOVA Stat Profile Prime Plus VET analyzer. This is a pre-solicitation notice in accordance with RFO 5.101.
While there is a wide variety of hospital and point-of-care blood gas/electrolyte analyzers for human use, there is a very limited selection available for veterinary use and multi-species applications. NOVA Biomedical is the only source that can provide this capability.
Inability to obtain this instrument will lead to the loss of critical data with potential for toxicological studies to be rendered incomplete. PH would be left with inadequate data upon which to make informed risk management decisions to protect warfighter health, safety, readiness and lethality.
This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334516 with a Small Business Size Standard of $1,000 employees. This pre-solicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, any parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same service. All capability statements received by closing of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Submit email capability statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Brian Miller at brian.d.miller1.civ@health.mil. Statements are due no later than 11:00 A.M. EST on 1 July 2026. No phone calls will be accepted.
