AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West at JBSA Fort Sam Houston, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 12 for the Trima Accel® Automated Blood Collection System to be deployed at the Robertson Blood Center in Fort Hood, Texas. This procurement is justified as an other-than-full-and-open competition due to the proprietary and unique capabilities of the Trima Accel® system, which is the only device capable of concurrently collecting platelets, plasma, and red blood cells from a single donor in a single procedure, reducing collection time by up to 40% and significantly enhancing donor throughput and mission readiness for the Armed Services Blood Program. Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies, identified by CAGE code 1VBG2, is the sole supplier capable of meeting the technical, interoperability, and regulatory requirements aligned with FDA and AABB standards, and no other vendor—including small businesses—can fulfill the operational needs. The acquisition is being funded by FY26 Defense Health Program funds and structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with no option periods, and the place of performance is explicitly established at Fort Hood, Texas. The solicitation was posted on SAM.gov on June 4, 2026, with a response deadline of June 8, 2026, and the Justification and Approval document, though redacted, confirms the necessity of the sole-source approach based on exhaustive market research and the absence of viable alternatives. No detailed pricing, CLIN structure, or contract value is disclosed, and while installation, inspection, and acceptance are anticipated at the Fort Hood location, specific packaging, marking, invoicing, payment, or administrative details are not provided in the available documentation. The government retains full authority for final acceptance, and the contract’s uniqueness stems entirely from the technical exclusivity of the equipment, not from special contractual requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest provisions.
