The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) in coordination with the Defense Centers for Public Health Aberdeen(DCPH-A) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, with Eurofins Drinking Water and Wastewater Centrall, LLC 110 S HILL ST SOUTH BEND, IN 46617-2702 as the only responsible source that can provide Non-Drinking Water Sample Analysis services. The Government requires uninterrupted non-drinking water sample analysis services in support of the Public Health Office's Mission.

Timely and accurate laboratory analysis is essential to ensuring the Government can fulfill its public health responsibilities and respond to environmental health concerns without interruption. Following the no-cost termination agreement of the incumbent contract, the Government must immediately obtain these services to prevent a lapse in analytical support.

Due to Eurofins' existing support of related laboratory requirements and ability to rapidly assume performance, the Government has determined that Eurofins represents the source best positioned to ensure continuity of critical public health support with minimal transition risk.
