- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) intends to procure Monthly Fee Auto Level Detector; Multiple Deliveries of 1650 Gallons total of Liquid Bulk Liquid Nitrogen for 1 Month (Total ? 1,201,098 Gallons. Liquid Nitrogen is delivered when automatic level system requires refill) from Airgas (put the address). Building 5 requires liquid nitrogen stored in 2 large tanks; it is plumbed as both gas and liquid into building 5. This is a critical resource for scientific research in building 5 and if interrupted and shutdowns occur it will be detrimental to several laboratories and research projects. Filling the two tanks is triggered by an "auto-sensing level indicator" that communicates with Airgas by wireless telemetry. This telemetry is required because of the highly variable rates of gas usage in the building. Historically, the Institute intends to purchase this service contract by other than full and open competition from Airgas. To the best of the Government?s knowledge they are the sole manufacturer and distributor of this equipment.
