- Description
- The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.501) with Idaho Technology Inc., 390 Wakara Way, Salt Lake, UT 84108 as the only responsible source that can provide the Ruggedized Advanced Pathogen Identification Device R.A.P.I.D. System with advanced software. In compliance with the Command’s Initiative to enhance Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) for Expeditionary Medical Logistics Program applications, the only technically acceptable item which has (ILS) support is the R.A.P.I.D. System with advanced software manufactured by Idaho Technology Inc. The R.A.D.I.P System with advanced software made by Idaho Technology Inc. has been standardized for all of the Forward Deployed Preventative Medicine Units (FDPMU). The R.A.P.I.D. is a field-hardened rapid thermal cycler with concurrent fluorescence monitoring. The R.A.P.I.D. is capable of automatically analyzing samples for the presence of biohazard nucleic acid sequence using real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology. Idaho Technology is the sole manufacturer and distributor for their biodefense products. The R.A.P.I.D. is the only instrument of its kind commercially available for portable field biological identification, which includes proprietary reach back software. These items were standardized to maintain interoperability between all of the FDPMU’s. The choice of any other manufacturer would result in a breakdown of that interoperability between FDPMU’s. It has been determined that no other manufacturer makes an R.A.P.I.D. System to these specifications. 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 in providing the same product. All capability statements received by closing of this notification 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. Based on the above information, the only technically acceptable system is provided by Idaho Technology, Inc. Submit email capability statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Christina Boyd-Brown at christina.boyd-brown@med.navy.mil. Fax quotes may be sent to 301-619-1132 Attn: Christina Boyd-Brown. Email statements are preferred. Statements are due not later than 4:00 P.M. EST on 28 May 2009. No phone calls accepted.
