- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Bio-Rad Life Science Group, 2000 Alfred Nobel Drive, Hercules, CA 94547, for purchase of a Tetrad-2 thermocycler with 4 96-well block heads to perform sequencing reactions subject to temperature fluctuations within the thermocycler block. This high-capacity unit provides the capacity necessary to avoid improper results which would cause genetic alterations. The specifications included: thermally ramping with a speed of 3 degrees C per second and an average of 1.4 degrees C per second on standard block formats; thermally accurate to within 0.3 degrees C, block homogeneity of 0.4 degrees C within 30 seconds of arrival at temperature; multiple protocols to be run simultaneously; ethernet connectivity; failure power supply protection; gradient thermocycler with graphical interface. CDC believes that this requirement is met by only one provider. This procurement will be processed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 6.302-2. Only one responsible source and no other sources will satisfy agency requirements. No solicitation is being issued. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. This procurement is not set-aside for small business. For contractual questions contact Linda M. Young.
