65--Notice of Intent for Sole Source Award for Fetal Fibronectin Testing Kits

The Western Regional Contracting Office at Joint Base Lewis-McChord plans to issue a firm-fixed-price contract to Hologic Limited Partnership for the procurement of Fetal Fibronectin Testing Kits, valued at approximately $71,296.92 for a base period with two one-year option extensions. This purchase is intended to support the existing TLi IQ System at Irwin Army Community Hospital, Fort Riley, Kansas, and includes proprietary maintenance services, parts, and repairs exclusively provided by Hologic. The contract will be awarded using a sole source justification under FAR 6.302-1, indicating the unique capability of Hologic’s products and services which are compatible with current equipment. The procurement process will follow Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 and is not a request for proposals or quotes, but rather a notice of intent. While the government will negotiate solely with Hologic, other firms believing they can meet the requirements may submit supporting documentation for consideration in future procurements. Interested parties must provide information exclusively via email to the designated purchasing agent, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. This contract aims to ensure continuity and compatibility of critical medical testing supplies for military healthcare facilities.
