This is a notice of intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analyzers and associated proprietary consumables. The contract will have a five-year ordering period and is for continued supply in support of biological reconnaissance and surveillance missions. The estimated value is approximately $9,000,000. 00. The requirement includes specific ECL analyzers and proprietary immunoassay kits, reagents, consumables, software, licensing, and support. The government's minimum needs require a commercially available platform compatible with government-validated assays, safe for mobile laboratory environments without primary engineering controls, and compatible with the currently fielded MSD analyzer workflow. Market research indicates MSD is the only known source that meets these needs without unacceptable risk. This notice is for informational purposes only to identify responsible sources. Interested parties must submit a capability statement by April 9, 2026, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, detailing their ability to meet the government's minimum needs. The capability statement should include company information, a description of the proposed system, evidence of assay compatibility, safety data for mobile lab use, details on consumables and software, and discussion of interoperability and transition impacts.
The deadline for submitting capability statements is April 9, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The notice does not specify a delivery deadline for the contract itself.
The bid notice states that the government will consider all timely capability statements received solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future or to proceed with the intended sole source award.
Interested parties must provide clear and convincing evidence that they can meet the government's minimum needs identified in the notice. This includes company information, a detailed description of the proposed analytical system and its technical specifications, evidence demonstrating compatibility with government-validated assays, data or other evidence demonstrating safe operation in a mobile laboratory environment, a description of required consumables, software, licensing, and any proprietary features, and a discussion of interoperability, transition impacts, training impacts, validation requirements, and schedule considerations.
The current estimated value of this action is approximately $9,000,****.
