About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command's Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West has issued a sole source Special Notice announcing its intent to award a contract to Hologic Sales and Service, LLC for STD testing supplies and equipment. The procurement will acquire a fully automated nucleic acid detection analyzer along with associated tests and accessories to support sexually transmitted disease identification at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Fort Bliss, Texas. This notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive quotations and no Request for Quotation will be made available. The acquisition will proceed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures with an anticipated firm fixed price award structure. The contract falls under NAICS code 325413 for In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,250 employees.
The primary objective of this procurement is to establish STD testing capabilities for epidemiological reporting and to enable proactive identification of health risks within the military community and local public health departments. The contract structure includes a 12-month base period with four additional 12-month option periods, spanning from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2030. Market research conducted in August 2025 determined that Hologic is the only vendor capable of meeting the technical requirements for the Panther analyzer system, which can perform multiple STD tests including Chlamydia/Gonorrhea, HPV, Trichomonas, and Bacterial Vaginosis testing. Since this is a sole source procurement, there are no competitive eligibility criteria for other contractors to participate. The notice has an extremely tight timeline with a due date of September 30, 2025, just one day after the posting date of September 29, 2025.
