AI Contract Overview
The United States Department of the Naval Medical Research Command intends to award a sole source contract to the University of Colombo for a study on acute undifferentiated febrile illness surveillance targeting dengue, chikungunya, Zika, hantaviruses, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province. This non-competitive acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique and irreplaceable qualifications of the University of Colombo and its lead investigator, Dr. Neesha Rockwood, who has established clinical cohorts, field infrastructure, and laboratory expertise in the region that no other entity can duplicate. The work includes recruiting 150 to 200 hospitalized AUFI patients, collecting detailed clinical and environmental exposure data, conducting molecular diagnostics and paired serology for pathogen detection, genotyping dengue and chikungunya strains, and establishing a biobank of biological specimens for future research. The contractor is responsible for all field operations in Sri Lanka, while final acceptance and oversight reside with NMRC in Silver Spring, Maryland. The acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 12 as a commercial item, requiring the contractor to be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity Identifier. There is no fixed contract value disclosed, no options or term extensions, no security clearance requirements, and no formal packaging, preservation, or labeling standards specified, as the work involves research services rather than physical supply delivery. The response deadline is May 10, 2026, and submissions must be sent via email to the contracting office, with only the University of Colombo eligible for award due to the singular nature of its capabilities and established presence in the target region.
