STI Molecular NAAT

The Department of the Army Medical Command is soliciting proposals for molecular analyzers and reagents to detect sexually transmitted infections (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, and Mycoplasma genitalium) at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington. The procurement seeks a firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for two automated, random-access nucleic acid testing analyzer systems with FDA-approved assays, along with all necessary reagents, consumables, and support services. Key requirements include processing capability of more than 275 samples in an 8-hour shift, delivering first results within 3.5 hours, maintaining at least 100 results per hour thereafter, and handling a minimum of 55,000 tests annually with random access capability. The evaluation will use the lowest priced, technically acceptable method, requiring offerors to demonstrate specific experience providing similar reagents and instrumentation within the last three years. Quotations are due by 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time on September 2, 2025, and must be submitted via email to the specified contracting personnel.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract structure includes a five-year ordering period beginning October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030, with delivery orders issued annually. Initial requirements specify 600 molecular assay kits for CT/NG detection and 125 molecular assay kits for MG detection, with optional additional consumables if needed. The contractor must provide bi-annual calibrations, preventive maintenance, 24-hour emergency response services, and complete system validation with operational capability required by October 1, 2025. Performance will take place at Madigan Army Medical Center, Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington, with contractor access to the base limited to mandatory maintenance and troubleshooting activities.
