- Description
- This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because the procurement is awarded to a sole source under the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items (FAR 13.5). See posted J&A for further information. MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD FOR OTHER THEN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD 1.Contracting Agency: Southern Regional Contracting Office, Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234 2.Description of Action: Sole source acquisition with IQuum, for Influenza A/B Assay. This action will be accomplished through the use of a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order. 3.Description of Products/Services: The requirement is to purchase Influenza reagent kits and consumables. The reagent kits are used to test various types of biological samples for the presence of pathogenic and biological threat agents using the Liat analyzer. 4.Authority Cited: 10 USC 2304(c) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a single source. For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name or industrial mobilization). 5.Reason for Cited Authority: AMEDD Center and School has requested that we enter into negotiations with IQuum directly. AMEDD C&S utilizes specific analyzers in its mission as the multiservice JBAIDS/NGDS training center for the Department of Defense and in its support of NGDS laboratory test & evaluation. Only certain designated laboratory systems, including Iquum Liat, are part of the NGDS training, test and evaluation. Only products that have been validated for use on the Liat system can be used on this system; and only Iquum analyzer hardware, software, test kits have been validated. Iquum is the sole manufacturer of the Liat analyzer and related test kits. FDA Clearance of Liat kits for in vitro diagnostics of human specimens has been granted only to specific Iquum products to function on this specific Iquum analyzer. 6.Contracting Officer Certification: I certify this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
