D -- F.A.C.T. Renewal Accredidation

The Government plans to award a contract for the renewal of accreditation related to Cellular Therapy to the University of Nebraska under a sole-source procurement in accordance with FAR 6.302. This action is not a competitive solicitation, although proposals or expressions of interest from other potential sources will be accepted and considered if submitted within three days following the publication date. The Government retains discretion over whether to proceed with competition based on the responses received. The contract, identified by solicitation number 08TC0028 and classified under NAICS code 611310, is managed by the Department of Defense office located at JBSA Lackland, Texas. The primary point of contact for this contract includes Contract Specialist Richard L. Webster and Contracting Officer Cathy E. Garcia, both reachable via email and phone. The contract covers the renewal of the F.A.C.T. accreditation for Cellular Therapy, and while the Government intends to negotiate and award directly to the University of Nebraska, any submitted proposals will assist in deciding whether a competitive procurement is necessary. This procurement aims to ensure continued accreditation services critical to the specified cellular therapy domain.
