75--NEONATAL SCREENING TEST KITS

The Great Plains Regional Contracting Office at Brooke Army Medical Center plans to award a sole source contract to the Texas Department of State Health Services for the procurement of Neonatal Newborn Screening Test Kits. This requirement is mandated by Texas law, ensuring that newborns are screened appropriately using these kits. The contract award is scheduled for May 27, 2010, under NAICS code 923120, which pertains to this specific procurement category but does not have an established size standard. Although this is a sole source notice, capable vendors are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by May 26, 2010, at 2:00 PM CST for consideration. The kits will be delivered to the Carl R Darnall Army Medical Center located at Fort Hood, Texas. Points of contact for the contract include Melissa Oliva, Contracting Officer, and Jo Collins, Purchasing Technician, both of whom are available for vendor inquiries. This contract is focused on ensuring compliance with state-mandated neonatal screening requirements through the procurement of essential testing kits from the designated state health department provider.
