Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Alinity PMThe Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity is preparing to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Abbott Laboratories, Inc. for annual preventive maintenance and repair services on Alinity S analyzers located at United States Naval Hospital Okinawa, Japan. These services are essential to ensure the instruments operate according to original equipment manufacturer specifications, maintain regulatory compliance for nucleic acid testing, and support accurate patient care decisions. Abbott Laboratories is identified as the sole provider capable of delivering OEM-specification maintenance, parts, and expertise, as no other vendor possesses the necessary technical capability or authorized access to the proprietary systems. This decision is grounded in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1(b), which permits sole source procurement when only one source is available to meet the government’s requirements. The contract opportunity was announced as a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on July 7, 2026, with a deadline of July 22, 2026, for vendor capability statements. Vendors interested in challenging the sole source determination were required to submit detailed capability statements, no longer than eight pages, including management, technical, and cost information, to the designated point of contact via email. Responses limited to questions or incomplete submissions were not considered. After the response window closed, no alternative vendors met the government’s minimum requirements, confirming Abbott Laboratories as the only qualified source. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516, and the Product Service Code is J066, reflecting the nature of the services as maintenance and repair for laboratory instruments. The contract will support critical medical operations overseas, and all communications must be submitted electronically; no telephone inquiries or offers will be accepted.
