In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM/PHE) requires a fully automated, walk away, fully integrated, random access platform capable of high throughput. USAFSAM/PHE is seeking reagents to perform on a single platform: 2210001873, 2210002370, 221002372, 2210001426, 2210001425.These reagents are required for laboratory diagnostic testing support for 213 DoD MTFs and 9 million patients /beneficiaries. The laboratory testing is utilized for the diagnosis and patient care for infectious diseases and immunization status. PHE requires supporting reagents that meet College of American Pathologists (CAP), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) standards and methodology. The proposed sole source, Diasorin Inc, is the only known source able to provide the specific reagents that are required to function IAW Federal FDA regulations and on the Diasorin Liaison XL analyzers.
