- Description
- The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.501) with Chiron Corporation, 4560 Horton Street, Emeryville, CA 94608, as the only responsible source that can provide analyzers that will test for HIV, Hepatitis C and West Nile Virus. Based on the above information, the only known item is Procleix TIGRIS System. Chiron Corporation is the sole manufacturer of the Procleix TIGRIS System. The Chiron Procleix TIGRIS analyzer allows testing via DNA amplification technology for the newly mandated screening for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and West Nile Virus (WNV). The system contains all materials to implement this requirement minus testing personnel and reagent costs. Additionally, it will allow for minimal modification of spaces and provides a unique walk-away technology where samples are loaded and run with minimal technical supervision of the process required. The equipment must be able to process up to 100 units of whole blood on at least three days per week with minimal technical intervention for specimen throughout. It must be able to withstand periods of high level production while simultaneously being able to perform within prescribed manufacturer?s guidelines even during periods of relative inactivity up to one week. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334516 with a Small Business Size Standard of 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability, to include proof of distributorship of specified brand name only item(s) in providing the same product. All capability statements received within 15 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
