- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6, simplified acquisition procedures and the resultant purchase order will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular 05-37. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFQ). This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a written solicitation will not be issued. This synopsis, NAICS code 325413, is to notify contractors that the government intends to issue a Purchase Order in accordance with FAR Part 13.106 for the following specifications, under the simplified acquisition procedures. This solicitation is posted 100% small business set-aside for all qualified small businesses and will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order. Prospective offerors are responsible for downloading the solicitation and any amendments. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the FedBizOpps website for the release of any amendments to this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions if the Contracting Officer determines that the initial offer(s) is/are providing the Best Value and discussions are not necessary. The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) has requested the purchase of the following items: Brand Name or Equal (DSM Premitest B.V.) 001: 1 Kit, Premitest Salmonella Kit (38220000) - The Premi® Test Salmonella is a DNA-based rapid method for the confirmation and serotyping of presumptive Salmonella spp. Starting from purified, presumptive Salmonella isolates, the Premi® Test Salmonella confirms whether the isolate belongs to the Salmonella genus and based on genetic profiling allocates the Salmonella enterica serotype for the most commonly encountered serovars (i.e. at present 94 serovars taken up in the software database of the Premi® Test Salmonella). The 94 serovars are a subset of the over 2500 Salmonella serovars which are taken up in the Kaufmann-White scheme. The Kaufman-White scheme is a scoring scheme of antigenic formulae which is adopted by the World Health Organization and which requires at least three antibody-antigen reactions (as described in ISO 6579) to identify a particular Salmonella strain to an established serotype name. The PremiTest is currently undergoing AOAC RI and ISO validation. FDA can only use validated methods for the analysis of regulatory isolates. The following are the specifications for the PremiTest: 1. It is a molecular method (PCR) for the identification of specific Salmonella serotypes. 2. The test can be performed in less than 10 h. 3. It can currently correctly identify 94 different serotypes. Any other serotype, not within the database, is correctly identified as being Salmonella. 4. The database is expandable and will be expanded over time, so we will not be restricted to just 94 serotypes in the future. 002: 16-09999, ATR Reader, 80 (L)x 120 (W) x 155 (H) mm, (1)ea. 003: 1709703, Thermo Cycler, 23 (H) x 26.4(W) x 54.6 (D) cm, (1)ea. 004: 022670107 and 022670522, Thermo Shakers, 22 (W) x 25 (D) x 12.5 (H) cm,(2)ea. 005: C1301, Spectrafuges Mini, 12.7 (W) x 12.7 (D) x 11.2 (H)cm 006: 2 Days, Training, Salmonella serotyping training with premitest method, (4) trainees.
