- Description
- NAICS Code: 811219 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Affymetrix Inc., 3420 Central Expressway, Santa Clara, CA 95051-0704, for the acquisition of a 1-year GS/MS instrument maintenance and associated computer software support plan (maintenance service agreement) for a specific Affymetrix Inc. laboratory instrument. Affymetrix Inc. has exclusive copyrights, patents, and/or trade secret ownership; and, therefore, is the only vendor that can satisfy the requirement. In order to ensure correct instrument operation, the circumstance permitting is FAR 13.106(b) (1) "only one source reasonably available". The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist; and, therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to demonstrate the contractor's ability to provide maintenance of the instrument and instead choosing merely to submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will be ignored. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested parties may submit written qualification statements, fully explaining their capability, no later than 10 days after the date of this publication. Submit your response to: the U.S. EPA, Attn: Barbara L. Mattison (MC-E105-02), 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, RTP Procurement Operations Division, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; by fax to (919)541-4273; or, by e-mail: mattison.barbara@epa.gov. No telephone or faxed requests will be honored.
