The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) in Fort Detrick, MD intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW RFO 12.102(a)) with LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORP 5781 Van Allen Way, Carlsbad, CA 92008 as the only responsible source that can provide the delivery and installation of one (1) Card Processing Automation CPA200™ instrument.
