(Solicitation Cancellation) Automated Core Laboratory, Ft. Benning Ga

The solicitation W81K0026QA113 for an Automated Core Laboratory System at Martin Army Community Hospital in Fort Benning, Georgia, was cancelled effective 27 May 2026 via Amendment 0001, with the requirement to be re-solicited by another agency at a later date. Originally issued as a Request for Proposal under NAICS Code 325413, the solicitation sought a Firm-Fixed Price contract for a fully automated clinical chemistry and immunodiagnostic testing system to be performed from 1 October 2027 through 30 September 2028, with four option periods extending through 30 September 2032. The contract would have required delivery of equipment, reagents, and consumables for a comprehensive laboratory system, with annual quantities specified for over two dozen CLINs covering critical diagnostic tests including HCG Total, Bicarbonate, Lipase, Cholesterol, and others. The award was to be made through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process on an all-or-none basis, contingent upon the offeror meeting stringent technical and compliance thresholds. Offerors were required to satisfy multiple pass/fail gates, including full technical acceptability across all evaluation subfactors—equipment and reagent compliance, ATO/RMF cybersecurity readiness, and complete pricing of all required CLINs. Cybersecurity obligations were extensive, demanding initial and ongoing Nessus vulnerability scans, submission of a Medical Device Equipment Risk Assessment, and adherence to Defense Health Agency RMF and STIG requirements, with six years of RMF-only maintenance coverage required. Physical and data security compliance included adherence to DoD Directives 8500.1 and 5400.11, NACLC background checks for personnel, CAC-based two-factor authentication, and compliance with HIPAA and DoD privacy regulations for protected health information. Contractors had to use MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-129 for item identification and shipping labels, submit invoices electronically via WAWF in arrears, and maintain active SAM.gov registration without exclusions. All proposals had to be submitted electronically by 11:00 a.m. on 8 June 2026 in three volumes—administrative, technical, and price—with strict formatting, file size, and submission guidelines.
