AI Contract Overview
The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, intends to award a sole source purchase order to bioMérieux, Inc. for a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) system to support the USAFSAM/PHR mission, citing that this vendor is uniquely capable of providing the required real-time PCR system, proprietary assays, and associated support services, making competition infeasible under RFO 12.102(a). The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and a Single Source Justification has been prepared to support this decision. Although the intent is to proceed without competition, the government is soliciting capability statements, quotations, or exceptions from other responsible sources through a limited window, with all submissions required to be sent via email to Jason Sav at jason.sav@us.af.mil no later than Tuesday, 14 July 2026 at 12:00pm Eastern Time. Responses must reference the subject line “Notice of Intent to Award SS – Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) System” and include only approved file formats such as PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, or XLSX; attachments containing .exe or .zip files risk being blocked by installation filters. The Minimum Requirements Document and redacted Single Source Justification are provided as attachments to inform potential responders of the technical and operational specifications governing the requirement.
