--Notice of the Government's intent to award a Sole Source Procurement.

The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Diagnostica Stago, Inc. located in Parsippany, New York, for the procurement of laboratory supplies specifically reagents needed to support an ongoing research project. This acquisition bypasses full and open competition due to the unique capability of Diagnostica Stago to meet the agency's specific needs, as competing the requirement would cause significant delays, disrupt the current research, and increase costs to the government. There is no solicitation number associated with this procurement; however, it is referenced under PR Number W74MYF7220N323-344. The action follows FAR 6.302 guidelines for other than full and open competition, affirming that no other sources are known to satisfy the government’s requirements effectively. Interested parties are informed that this notice does not serve as a request for competitive quotes but invites written submissions only if they can provide clear and convincing evidence that alternative sources can meet the requirements and that competition would benefit the government. If no such responses are received within 15 days from the publication date, the contract will be awarded to Diagnostica Stago without further notice. The designated point of contact for inquiries regarding this action is Craig E. Anderson, reachable via the provided government email. The purchase pertains to NAICS code 325413, confirming its classification within pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing.
