- Description
- Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has a requirement to to procure a specialized instrument for diagnosing infectious diseases. The Government intends to procure this instrument on a sole source basis from BioFire Diagnostics, LLC because preliminary market research indicates that only BioFire's "FilmArray Torch - 6" system can meet the hospital's requirements because only its system can provide diagnostic test results within an hour and can simultaneously identify up to 20 viruses and bacteria per sample. Further, the system requires less than five minutes for setup and is fully automated following initial run setup. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations and a solicitation for this requirement will not be issued. Prospective offerors are advised that, because there are no other known sources, the agency has authorized the procurement of this equipment under other than full and open competition under FAR 6.3. However, interested sources may submit a capability statement for the agency's consideration in determining whether a competitive procurement should be conducted in the future for this item. A copy of the Justification and Approval will be posted no later than 14 days after contract award.
