B -- CBRN Laboratory Analysis Services

Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition and Procurement Office, plans to award a sole source bridge contract to Midwest Research Institute for laboratory testing and analysis services. This contract ensures continuity while a competitive process is underway for a follow-on contract. Midwest Research Institute, the current provider, will also supply personnel to train the new contractor in specific testing and analysis procedures at the on-site laboratory unless they secure the subsequent contract themselves. The bridge contract will replicate the terms of the existing Time & Materials Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with Midwest Research Institute. The contract, titled "B -- CBRN Laboratory Analysis Services," falls under NAICS code 541380 and is managed by the Washington Headquarters Services within the Department of Defense, based in Washington, DC. The point of contact for this procurement is Pauline James, a Contract Specialist reachable via phone and email. This arrangement supports the government’s objective to maintain critical laboratory testing capabilities without interruption during the transition to a new contract award.
