    The Department of Defense's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency intends to award a sole-source contract to Midwest Storage Solutions for the procurement, shipment, and installation of Viking/Spacesaver 920 Cabinets valued at approximately $281,623.45. This specialized equipment is intended to securely manage and facilitate the identification of remains from U.S. service members at the Offutt lab in Nebraska. Currently, comparative assets are inadequately stored in shipping containers, hindering effective management and retrieval. The justification for this procurement cites the unique requirements of the DPAA, emphasizing the necessity for a flexible and secure storage solution capable of handling large volumes of remains and exemplar assets in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. Market research confirms that Spacesaver is the exclusive manufacturer of the Viking Preservation cabinets, with Midwest Storage Solutions being the only authorized distributor for the region. The need for these cabinets aligns with ongoing missions related to the recovery of fallen service members, highlighting the urgency for swift and efficient access to stored materials. The agency asserts that no other suppliers can fulfill these specific needs, which validates the choice for a non-competitive contract approach.
