AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Government intends to award a sole source, fixed-priced, single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract exclusively to Cepheid for supplying reagents used in infectious disease testing. These tests cover a wide range of microorganisms including MRSA, C. difficile toxin, CRE, CT/NG, Group A Streptococcus, SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, RSV, and vaginal infections. The tests are to be performed using the Cepheid GeneXpert Infinity platform, which is already owned by the facility. This procurement is justified under specific regulatory authorities because only Cepheid is believed to be the sole capable and authorized provider of these specialized reagents necessary to meet the Government’s requirements. This notice serves as a sources sought announcement rather than a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation is currently available. Potential interested parties may submit their interest and capability to meet the requirement by the specified deadline of January 9, 2026, but any response will only influence whether a competitive procurement may replace the sole source approach. The Government will proceed with the sole source acquisition if no responses suggest alternative capable providers. Communication should be directed to Contracting Officer Moneque Rodriguez via email prior to the deadline. The procurement is managed by the NETWORK Contract Office 8 in Tampa, Florida, with performance anticipated at the Bay Pines facility.
