## Description

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Natick Division, in support of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Soldier Center (DEVCOM-SC), Soldier Sustainment Directorate (SSD) / Combat Feeding Division (CFD) located in Natick, MA 01760, has a requirement for chemical nutrient analysis services for the U.S. Army Combat Feeding Division. The Combat Feeding Division’s Nutrient Analysis Laboratory (NAL) currently has multiple samples to analyze for nutritional content. The CFD, part of the U.S. Army DEVCOM-SC, is the Department of Defense’s centralized source for all research, development, engineering, and integration of joint service combat rations, food service equipment and field feeding systems. CFD’s primary mission is to ensure Warfighters have the tactical, nutritional and logistical advantage required to survive and win on the battlefield. Although CFD already has an in-house Nutrient Analysis Lab (NAL), there is currently a short-term need to outsource select nutrient analysis services for ingredients and ration components. The offeror shall provide laboratory nutrient analysis testing on provided food samples. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercially available services prepared in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) FAR 12 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. Request For Proposal (RFP) number is: W911QY-26-R-NUTRIENT-ANALYSIS.

(a) The Government intends to award a single award Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: I. Technical capability of services offered to meet Government requirements: Requirements: The offeror shall be able to analyze samples for the analytes in Table 1 (See Attached Statement of Work for Table 1) with the preferred methods listed below or equivalent* with the listed limits of quantification (LOQ). The main analytes that will be requested are 1) selenium, 2) vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and 3) total dietary fiber. However, the offeror must also have the ability to analyze any of the other analytes listed in the SOW, CFD may need analysis of these analytes during the period of performance of this contract. This SOW is for an indeterminate quantity of samples. It is estimated that a minimum of 25 samples will be needed. The minimum guarantee for this contract is $5,000.00. The ceiling amount of this IDIQ contract is $25,000.00. No more than 25 samples are projected to be sent at one time.

If the method is not an industry standard method (publicly available), then please attach a copy of the method in the proposal. During market research, the price ranges in Table 2 (See Attached Statement of Work for Table 2) were determined to be reasonable per analyte (dependent on the method proposed). Offeror’s proposals must include the cost/test and the proposed method w/ LOQ. A cost/test can be outside of this range, but the proposals will be evaluated based on the demonstrated ability of the offeror to meet the requirements, proposed methods with LOQ and the cost/test. a.
