The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center Pharmacy Department is seeking sole-source Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) services for cold temperature units (CTUs) from VaLogic Bio, Inc. This procurement, identified by solicitation number NOI-OD-26-000344, is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to the contractor's unique technical expertise, certified training on specific manufacturers such as Follet, Panasonic, ThermoFisher, and Stirling, and their existing service history through contract 75N90021D00025. The scope of work includes the qualification and NIST-traceable 3-point calibration of refrigerators, freezers, and sub-zero units to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).

Key deliverables include comprehensive IQ/OQ/PQ documentation for each unit, 24/7 technical support, and a maximum 72-hour response time for service requests. Because VaLogic Bio, Inc. possesses proprietary access to manufacturer-specific software, firmware, and schematics, the agency has determined that no other sources can meet these mission-critical requirements. The contract is administered by the NIH Clinical Center Office of Purchasing and Contracts, with Susan Nsangou serving as the Contracting Officer and Richard DeCederfelt as the Contracting Officer's Representative.

Full Description
The purpose is to purchase of the VaLogic, LLC IQ/OQ/PQ Qualification Services of Cold Temperature Units (CTU) for the Pharmacy Department.
Justification: The selected source is based on current service coverage by Valogic Bio, Inc. via the Office of Research Services and Compliance (ORSC) contract with VaLogic (Contract #75N90021D00025, Task Order #75N90021F00001). VaLogic Bio, Inc. will perform IOQ/PQ/RQ testing, calibration, and validation of pharmacy cold temperature units that will require qualification testing. The sole source is also based on the availability to provide GMP/GLP qualifications to all new and existing Pharmacy Department Cold Temperature Unit (CTU) with the capacity to service various manufacturer cold temperature units from Follet, Panasonic, ThermoFisher, and Stirling. Because of the existing VaLogic contract with ORSC as well as the specific IOQ/PQ/RQ validation training and expertise, only one (1) source will be solicited. All other sources have been exhausted due to the service technician specific training, certification, database access, and knowledgebase of manufacturer refrigerator, freezer, and sub-zero equipment as well as the software/firmware that are directly applicable to the operation and management of each CTU.
The certified training of VaLogic Bio, Inc. technicians on Follet, Panasonic, Helmer, ThermoFisher, K2 Scientific, and Stirling model cold temperature units which includes specific cold temperature unit manufacturer training, service certification and access to the latest technical developments, repair procedures knowledge base access, updated instrument schematics database access, software & firmware updates, and planned maintenance procedures of multiple manufacturer refrigerator, freezer, and sub-zero units compels the solicitation of only one (1) source. Additionally, since VaLogic has provided qualification, validation, and certification services for various Pharmacy department biomedical equipment and aseptic facilities for the past eight (2) years and currently holds the existing service contract through ORSC, no other solicitations will be made. These specific requirements will not permit competition to the maximum extent possible. Competition will be sought by oral solicitation procedures and no resultant synopsis in FBO will be published.
