In the past, FDA’s Regulatory laboratories operated under a variety of formal and informal quality management systems. All of these systems had the same aim – to assure the quality of laboratory results upon which regulatory decisions are made. However, these systems differed in their rigor and in the amount of independent oversight exercised.

A quality management system that is accredited to international standards (ISO/IEC 17025) enabled Laboratory managers to better maintain high quality laboratory operations, to more easily control resources, and to act with more confidence in meeting the needs of their customers and stakeholders. More effective operations result in greater regulatory impact and better consumer protection. Uniform laboratory procedures enhance data reliability and resource sharing with FDA domestic and international partners.

Through laboratory accreditation, FDA Regulatory laboratories maintain their reputation as a source of scientifically sound information and guidance. The accreditation process started in 2003 and FDA Regulatory laboratories undergo a full on-site assessment every two years depending upon the expiration of their Accreditation Certificate.

The objective of an accreditation assessment is to establish whether or not a laboratory complies with the accrediting body’s requirements for accreditation and can competently perform the types of tests or calibrations for which accreditation is sought. Accreditation is required to demonstrate compliance with additional criteria of the “AOAC International Guidelines for Laboratories Performing Microbiological and Chemical Analyses of Food, Dietary Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, and Cannabis”. The purpose of this contract is to have an independent, third-party Contractor perform the accreditation assessments and make the proper determinations and to identify any deficiencies.

The synopsis is amended with the following addition: All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency, (FAR 5.207(c)(16)(i).

This synopsis serves as a notice of intent that the Automatic Test Systems (ATS) Contracting Branch at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC), Georgia. (AFLCMC/WNKB) anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) on SAM.gov under Notice ID: FA8533-24-R-0002, for Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contracts for the ATS Division. The Government reserves the right not to award any contracts and may do so without prior notice to offerors.  The ATS Acquisition-I (ATSA-I) acquisition will establish a solid awardee base comprised of large and small businesses and nonprofit institutions (including educational) for the rapid procurement of commercial and non-commercial products and services to sustain and support the full scope of the ATS Division’s portfolio. The ATSA-I will be a “mandatory use contract vehicle” for the ATS Division covering all life-cycle requirements. This contract will subsume existing contracts as they expire and satisfy any future contractual needs of the ATS Division.

The ATS Division portfolio supports and manages the end-to-end life cycle of ATS, encompassing complex-aircraft and armament-system-specific test systems in support of warfighter Operations and Maintenance (O&M) at operating locations worldwide. The ATSA-I contract vehicle will provide a streamlined acquisition approach for all ATS procurements of services and supplies to support users across a range of multiple services and organizations, including, but not limited, to the United States Air Force (USAF), USAF Reserve (USAF-R), Air National Guard (ANG), F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and other Department of Defense (DoD) services.

This acquisition will be a Full and Open Competitive Acquisition with no small business set-asides. 

The ATSA-I RFP will be issued for competitive acquisition accomplished utilizing the hybrid Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) and Technical only source selection methodology conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Department of the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DAFFARS), and DoD Source Selection Procedures, 20 August 2022 to make award decision.

It is anticipated that the RFP will be released on or around 24 September 2024 and anticipated award is in the JUL-AUG 2025 timeframe.
