Notice of Intent to Sole Source the preventative maintenance of Carl Zeiss Microscopes at NMCP, Portsmouth, VA
Solicitation # 12427110
The Government intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to PROAIM Americas, LLC for the preventative maintenance of Carl Zeiss microscopes at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b), as the total estimated value of $607,166.77 falls within the $350,000 simplified acquisition threshold, with the contract structure including a base year from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, and three optional one-year extensions. PROAIM Americas is identified as the only capable source for this maintenance due to its exclusive ability to service Carl Zeiss microscopes, and the Government has determined that competitive procurement would not be advantageous, cost-effective, or timely without hindering mission objectives. Responsiveness to this notice must provide clear and convincing justification that competition would benefit the Government, though the decision not to compete remains at the Government’s sole discretion. This is a notice of intent, not a request for quotes or proposals, and responses will be evaluated solely to assess the viability of competition; no costs incurred by responders will be reimbursed.

Notice to Sole Source Qiagen
Solicitation # FY26-0865
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Qiagen Sciences, LLC for maintenance and support of the CLC Genomics Server and Workbench, as Qiagen is the exclusive manufacturer and copyright holder of the proprietary software. The government relies on this specific platform for daily analysis of next-generation sequencing data at AFDIL, and no alternative vendor can legally issue the required server licenses or manage enterprise network authentication through Qiagen’s proprietary license manager. Any attempt to replace the system would result in complete operational failure, loss of validated bioinformatics workflows, and prohibitive duplication of costs. The software supports both Windows and Linux environments, enables centralized data storage via file systems or custom databases, and offers an open API for integration with external tools, making it indispensable for current bioinformatics operations. The acquisition will be conducted under simplified procedures with no set-aside restrictions and is classified under NAICS code 541512, with a small business size standard of $30 million. This presolicitation notice does not constitute a formal solicitation but invites interested parties to submit technical and cost information to demonstrate their capability to provide equivalent services, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. All submissions must be emailed in PDF, Word, or Excel format to Kasey Carroll by 10:00 A.M. EST on August 17, 2026, with no phone calls accepted. The contract will be performed at Dover AFB, Delaware, with the contracting office located at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
