22 MDG - Hematology Analyzer Lease

The 22nd Medical Group at McConnell AFB is seeking an all-inclusive lease and service contract for a hematology analyzer to support approximately 4,500 annual patient tests at the McConnell AFB Clinic in Wichita, Kansas. The solicitation, FA462126Q0016, issued as a Request for Quote, requires the offeror to provide a new, FDA-approved hematology analyzer with an auto-loading feature that fits within an 18" by 26" countertop space and is capable of processing at least 75 complete blood counts with a five-part differential per hour. The system must integrate with the MHS Genesis Hospital Information System, comply with CLIA, OSHA, CDC, and FDA regulations, and either hold an existing Authorization to Operate or commit to obtaining a DoD Risk Management Framework ATO. The contract includes a base year and four option years, spanning from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2031, with identical service volumes of 4,500 tests per year under each period. Pricing is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, with all costs—including personnel, equipment, reagents, transportation, installation, calibration materials, and service manuals—covered under the offer. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format by June 4, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CST, and include a completed Joint Medical Device Risk Assessment Questionnaire, current SAM.gov representations and certifications, past performance documentation, and detailed pricing for each line item. Evaluation will be conducted on a best value trade-off basis, with non-price factors—technical approach and past performance—considered significantly more important than price. The government may award to a higher-priced offeror if technical superiority or strong past performance justifies the cost difference. Contract administration requires the contractor to designate a dedicated point of contact available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding federal holidays, with full authority to act on contract matters. Payment must be submitted through Wide Area WorkFlow using specified DoDAAC codes, and the contractor must comply with cybersecurity and data safeguarding requirements, including the Safeguarding Covered Defense Information clause. Several clauses are incorporated or amended via deviation, including provisions for System for Award Management registration, protests after award, security prohibitions, subcontracting procedures, and prohibitions on covered defense telecommunications.
