- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) located in Bethesda, MD on the National Naval Medical Campus, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Beckman Coulter, Inc., 4300 North Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, California 92835-1091 for the purchase of the annual service contract for the Beckman Flow Cytometer ID-051845. USU intends to award an option year purchase order with a base period of twelve (12) months with four (4) one year options. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items Procedures and Simplified Acquisition Procedures in FAR Part 13. The North American Industry Classification System Code is 334516. Statutory Authority: 13.106-(b) (1): (b) Soliciting from a single source. (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Beckman Coulter, Inc is the only company that has the specialized and technical knowledge as well as the necessary tools, manpower and repair parts to maintain the Beckman Flow Cytometer in an operable state. The equipment is highly specialized in design whereby obtaining these parts from alternate sources as generic items is not possible. No other vendor was located that maintained the technical and specialized knowledge or accessibility to repair parts for this system. This company is the only known source to USUHS that can meet this requirement. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Vendors are to email responses to Lauren Goss to lauren.goss.ctr@usuhs.mil.
