Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Custom Commercial Aptamer Procurement

Solicitation # PANAPG-26-P-0000-051608

The U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground Edgewood Division intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Aptagen LLC for the custom synthesis, purification, quality control, and delivery of DNA, RNA, and peptide aptamers. These materials are critical for diagnostic assay development, biosensor research, and chemical and biological defense platforms supporting the DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center. To meet strict technical requirements, the aptamers must undergo denaturing Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis purification, as standard commercial HPLC or cartridge methods are deemed unacceptable. The vendor is required to provide double tier empirical quality control for every delivery using ElectroSpray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and 10 percent Urea Gel dPAGE analysis. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, but the government will review responses submitted to the designated contracting officials by September 1, 2026. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541715 and will be performed in Maryland.

SOLE SOURCE – Procurement of Neuron, Linear Accelerator (LINAC) and Combined Environmental Testing Services

Solicitation # N0016426SNC03

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract to Amentum Services Inc. for Neutron, Linear Accelerator, and Combined Environment Testing Services. This requirement supports the Radiation Combined Environment Test Capability and military hardware survivability validation programs. The contractor will be responsible for the end-to-end operation, maintenance, and enhancement of government-owned nuclear weapon effects simulators, specifically the Dense Plasma Focus and Electron Linear Accelerator systems. Amentum Services Inc. has been identified as the only capable source due to their possession of secured real estate near NSWC Crane, completed facility designs, mature regulatory and safety licenses, and established integration with government equipment vendors. The government has determined that competing the requirement would lead to unacceptable mission-critical delays and significant duplicative costs. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 15, and the request for proposal will be sent directly to the vendor rather than posted on sam.gov.
