This is a notice of intent, and not a solicitation, for the Department of the Army to award a sole‑source, Firm‑Fixed‑Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle to:
Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC (CAGE: 1ZHK4)
16020 Industrial Drive
Gaithersburg, MD 20877-1424
The statutory authority for this sole‑source procurement is 41 U.S.C. § 1901, as implemented by FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), Sole source acquisition under simplified acquisition procedures for certain commercial items.
The Government intends to award a single‑award IDIQ contract with a five‑year ordering period for the continued supply of Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analyzers and associated proprietary consumables in support of biological reconnaissance and surveillance missions. The current estimated value of this action is approximately $9, 000, 000.00.
The requirement includes:
ECL analyzers (specifically, the Meso Scale Diagnostics (MSD) SQ120 BT analyzer, the designated replacement for the obsolescence MSD PR2 1800 system);
Proprietary immunoassay kits, reagents, and related consumables; and
Associated software, licensing, and support necessary for system operation.
The Government-s minimum needs include a commercially available platform that:
Is compatible with Government‑validated assays for Staphylococcal enterotoxin B, Botulinum toxin, and Ricin toxin;
Can be operated safely in the intended mobile laboratory environment without reliance on a primary engineering control (e.g., a biological safety cabinet) for routine analyzer operation;
Is compatible with the currently fielded MSD analyzer workflow and associated proprietary consumables/software architecture; and
Supports continuity of operations, training, and logistics for the existing user base.
Market research conducted in FY 26 evaluated commercially available ECL‑based immunoassay systems and confirmed that, while multiple vendors manufacture ECL analyzers, only MSD-s tec...
