--Notification of the Government's Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement.

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity plans to award a sole source contract to Spring Valley Laboratories, Inc. for conducting immunization studies on new malaria vaccine proteins. This decision is based on the necessity to avoid significant delays and disruptions to ongoing projects, as well as to prevent increased costs that would arise from awarding the contract to another manufacturer or system. The procurement will proceed under other than full and open competition procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within 15 days of the notice publication; however, if no submissions are received by that deadline, the contract will be awarded without further notification. The contract is identified by solicitation number W74MYF8213N057-088 and falls under the NAICS code 541711. The point of contact for this procurement action is Craig E. Anderson, reachable via email at [email hidden]. This approach ensures continuity and efficiency in advancing vaccine research critical to the Army’s medical objectives, while allowing for a brief window for other responsible sources to demonstrate their capabilities before finalizing the award.
