The contract is justified by the need for compatibility with the existing government-owned Hologic ThinPrep 5000 system, requiring FDA-approved supplies that match the form, fit, and function of the current equipment. This notice is not a solicitation for quotations or proposals, though the agency will consider any capability statements or offers received to assess if an alternate source might be more advantageous. If no affirmative response is received within five days of the notice’s publication, the contract will proceed with Hologic without further notice. The procurement is conducted under the authority allowing for sole source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy the agency requirements. Interested vendors are instructed to respond directly to the provided point of contact via email, as the notice contact does not have access to the usual vendor response platforms.
