Notice of Intent to Sole Source HT941026N0037 THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE SUPPLY CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), Healthcare Operation-West (HCO-W), intends to award a firm fixed price supply purchase for Phadia 250 System, analyzer supplies and reagents for use in the Laboratory Department at Tripler Army Medical Center, HI, in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102-1, Simplified Procedures sole source acquisition FAR 12.102(b), restricting competition, only one source being available to meet the Government's needs, to: Phadia US Inc. (Thermo Fisher Scientific) 4169 Commercial Ave Portage, MI 49002 The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the business size standard is 1,000 (in employees). The Product Service Code (PSC) is 6632 Analysis Instruments, Medical Laboratory Use. The objective of this sole source award is to procure Phadia 250 System Analyzer, supplies and reagents for Tripler Army Medical Center. ImmunoCAP assays are uniquely standardized and globally recognized for their analytical performance, reproducibility, and long-term consistency.

As a result, no other supplies or services can reasonably satisfy the Government's requirement to maintain consistent longitudinal patient data and validated diagnostic outcomes across time and locations. The Laboratory Department requires supplies, reagents, and maintenance for the Phadia Analyzer which can perform whole-allergen and allergen component testing. This breadth and depth of capability is not replicated by any other vendor and is essential to supporting the full spectrum of current and emerging clinical requirements relevant to the military health system. Limiting this capability would directly reduce diagnostic readiness and flexibility.
