Equipment Relocation Services

Contract HT942525P0070 is a sole-source acquisition awarded to Agilent Technologies for the relocation and installation of two Agilent Ultivo Triple Quad Mass Spectrometers. The scope of work includes the professional packing, transportation, and installation of these sensitive instruments from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, to the Defense Forensic Toxicology laboratory at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. This procurement is critical to sustaining the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System's operational capability, which supports over 15,000 annual cases essential for military readiness, national security, and forensic investigations. The award was justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to the urgency of the need and the exclusive capability of Agilent Technologies as the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Utilizing the OEM is mandatory to ensure the preservation of instrument calibration, functionality, and manufacturer warranties, as third-party handling would risk voiding warranties and disrupting mission-critical toxicological testing. The contract was administered by the Army Medical Resources Acquisition Activity at Fort Detrick, Maryland, with price reasonableness determined via an Independent Government Estimate. Due to the sensitivity of the forensic operations involved, the documentation is designated as Controlled Unclassified Information.
