This contract, solicitation number W81K0014T0034, was awarded by the Southern Regional Contracting Office at Fort Sam Houston for the procurement of Florescent Antibody Virus Neutralization testing. These tests are a mandatory requirement for all military dogs deploying overseas. The agreement is structured as a firm fixed price contract under NAICS code 541380. The procurement was conducted as a sole source acquisition under the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Kansas State University was selected as the sole provider because it is the only approved certified laboratory in the United States capable of performing the required testing. This exclusivity justified the bypass of full and open competition under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
