- 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: Approval is requested to solicit a sole source acquisition with BioFire Diagnostics (BFDx); for FilmArray microbial identification test panel kits for use on government-owned FilmArray Analyzers. This action will be accomplished through the use of a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order. 3. Description of Products/Services: This action is for the purchase of the FilmArray reagent kits and consumables associated with the FilmArray test menu. BFDx FilmArray reagent kits are used to test various types of biological samples for the presence of pathogenic and biological treat agents using the BFDx FilmArray analyzers. 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 C&S utilizes specific analyzers in its mission as a multi-service Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) and the Next Generation Diagnostic System (NGDS) training center for the Department of Defense. BFDx FilmArray is the only designated laboratory system that is part of the NGDS training, test and evaluations. BFDx is the sole manufacturer of the FilmArray analyzer and related reagent kits, which are FDA approved for in-vitro diagnostics. Soliciting for competition would not be reasonable. Therefore Full and Open Competition need not be provided for. 6. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
