Description

17. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice of intent for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are not being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this acquisition is NOI5009 and the solicitation is being issued as a notice of intent. This solicitation document and its incorporated provisions are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2001-25. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases intends to procure, on a sole-source basis ? using simplified acquisitions procedures- clinical patient samples from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md., for use in NIAID Project# Z01- AL00358-14 ?Immunopathogenesis of Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection.? The Hopkins School of Medicine has had long-standing access to patients with sexually-transmitted diseases and has provided diagnostic testing services using advanced molecular probes for Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, Trichomonas and HIV for the Institute. For the good of the government, the vendor should not be changed now because many of the patients who have provided clinical specimens to this laboratory for past and current studies will continue to be followed in the future. The NIAID is dependent on the use of these specimens, which require repeated collation of cells from these patients as part of longitudinal analyses. To change patient populations now would make such prospective follow-up impossible and seriously limit the number and kinds of scientific discoveries that can be derived from this data. This is not a Small-Business Set Aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 621511 and the small-business size standard is $11.5 million dollars. This is a firm fixed-price contract, and the FOB terms are ?Destination.? These items will be delivered to a NIAID facility in Baltimore, MD. The anticipated period of performance will be 12/24/04-09/30/05. FAR provisions and clauses that apply to this acquisition: FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors ? Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications ? Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-4, Contractor Terms and Conditions ? Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders ? Commercial Items. FAR 52.225-3. Offerors must include with their offer a completed copy of the provisions at FAR 52.212-3, Offerors Representations and Certifications ? Commercial Items. Central Contractor Registration (Oct 2003) is required. [Note: Lack of registration in the Central Contractor Registration will make an offeror ineligible for award].
