Justification for Sole Source

The Government's justification for a sole source award to Thermo Fisher Scientific is based on the unique and proprietary nature of the Phadia 250 System and its ImmunoCAP assays. These assays are globally recognized for their analytical performance, reproducibility, and long-term consistency. Alternative systems cannot produce clinically equivalent or interchangeable results, which is essential for maintaining consistent longitudinal patient data and validated diagnostic outcomes across time and locations. The breadth and depth of this capability are not replicated by any other vendor.

Submission & Evaluation

This is not a request for competitive proposals. Sources interested in challenging the sole source intent must submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide the required items. The statement must include management, technical, and cost information, not exceeding six (8.5 x 11 inch) pages with a 10-point font. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with the sole source purchase order.
