AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a sole-source purchase order to the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine’s Zoological Pathology Program for diagnostic testing and expert interpretation of stranded cetacean cases provided by the Louisiana Marine Mammal Stranding Network. The scope includes comprehensive laboratory services such as testing for viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and biotoxin agents, along with histological evaluations and routine specimen processing. This procurement is justified because the University of Illinois is the only known provider capable of delivering two specialized assays—the cetacean Brucella specific ST typing assay and an in situ hybridization assay for Brucella in marine mammals—which are essential to meet NOAA’s requirements and cannot be substituted by any other vendor. The contract has a 12-month base period with two optional 12-month extensions, and no set-aside provisions apply; the NAICS code is 541940 for Veterinary Services. This is a pre-solicitation notice, not a competitive procurement, and entities wishing to challenge the sole-source determination must submit substantiating documentation in writing to the designated point of contact within 15 calendar days of the notice’s publication. The government retains full discretion to decide whether to proceed competitively, and responses must be in writing—oral communications will not be considered.
