AI Contract Overview
The Defense Health Agency is soliciting a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for Clinical Reference Laboratory Testing Services to replace the current contract with LabCorp, which expires June 30, 2026. The requirement encompasses approximately 6,960 specialized diagnostic tests across pathology disciplines including chemistry, hematology, microbiology, molecular, cytology, and genetics, serving approximately 205 Military Treatment Facilities worldwide. The contractor must establish and maintain a secure, bidirectional electronic interface between its commercial Laboratory Information System and the Government’s MHS Genesis electronic health record, while fully complying with DoD cybersecurity standards including NIST SP 800-171, CMMC Level 2, and DFARS 252.204-7012. All Government data must be processed and stored within the United States or its territories, and personnel must undergo security investigations to obtain Common Access Cards and comply with CUI and PII/PHI handling requirements, including mandatory training and Data Sharing Agreement approval. The contract will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis with optional five-year extension, for a total potential performance period of ten years, and will be filled through task orders and Government Purchase Card transactions. Evaluation will be conducted under a Performance Price Tradeoff methodology where non-price factors—Technical Approach, Performance Risk, and Small Business Subcontracting Participation—are significantly more important than price. Technical proposals are assessed on four equally weighted sub-factors: Transition Approach and LIS Interface, Technical Requirements, Quality Control/Assurance, and Supply Chain Management; an Unacceptable rating in any one sub-factor disqualifies the proposal. Offerors must submit five volumes of technical, business, performance risk, small business, and pricing information, with strict formatting and page limits, particularly a 45-page cap on the Technical Proposal. The contractor is responsible for specimen packaging and shipping according to MIL-STD-129, 49 CFR, and IATA standards, using impervious bags with barcode labels generated by their LIS, and must comply with CLIA, CAP, and CLSI quality metrics. Invoices must be submitted through WAWF, and the Government will use the Government-wide Commercial Purchase Card for payment. Offerors must be registered in SAM, provide a UEI and CAGE code, declare their size status, and comply with new clauses addressing DEI discrimination, whistleblower rights, cybersecurity, and supply chain restrictions.

2. REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION
The Government requires a contractor to provide comprehensive, nonpersonal clinical reference laboratory testing services.

Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) task orders and/or Contract Ordering Official Card (COOC)/Government Purchase Card (GPC) orders. Source Selection Process: Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT), where non-price factors (e.g., Technical, Performance Risk, Small Business Subcontracting Participation), when combined, are significantly more important than price.
