- Description
- Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACCAPG), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division intends to award a Firm Fixed Price sole source purchase order on behalf of the Medical Countermeasure Systems to IIT Research Institute located at 10 West 35th Street, Chicago, IL, 60616-3717 under the authority as prescribed in FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This requirement is for the sustainment/maintenance of a Biological Surety Program that is compliant with DoD Biological Select Agents and Toxins Regulations to support the ongoing mission of the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program (JVAP). This is a follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly specialized services. The service provided under this contract is for the sustainment/maintenance of a Biological Surety Program that is compliant with DoD Biological Select Agents and Toxins Regulations to support the ongoing mission of the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program (JVAP). This Biological Surety Program will include a Biological Personnel Reliability Program (BPRP) and is subject to routine Department of the Army Inspector General (DAIG) rated inspections and Surety Management Reviews. Activities to be conducted to support maintenance of the BPRP Program include: training, annual and ongoing medical evaluations, BSAT inventory, Badging, Hosting Audits, BSAT Security equipment maintenance, Emergency Response Drills, and annual vulnerability assessments. IITRI is the only company that has the necessary, validated, plague assays needed for the current ongoing Biological Surety Program, and is the only facility that has the validated mouse potency assay needed to release the plague vaccine final drug product. Transferring these assays to another BSAT compliant facility would be considered a duplication of effort and would significantly impact the program schedule, thereby delaying FDA Approval. This is a notice of intent to issue this solicitation on a sole source basis. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations (RFQ). Any other firms desiring consideration must fully identify their interest and capability to provide these items no later than December 30th, 2016 to the individual listed below. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested persons may identify their interest in writing, to the Government point of contact. Responses to this notice must be received no later than 11:00am Eastern Standard Time, December 30th, 2016. The point of contact for this action is Ms. Jennifer Bassett, jennifer.s.bassett.civ@mail.mil. No telephone requests will be honored.
