- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, hereby announces its intent to issue a purchase order to Accuri Cytometers, 173 Parkland Plaza Ann Arbor, MI 48103 for acquisition of Cytometer, Cflow plus software and workstation computer. Other sources were considered. The Accuri Flow cytometer can easily detect immune responses on T and B cells at a much higher rate. The duration of time to run samples is much less. For example to read 10,000 cells, other sources considered takes 60 seconds whereas Accuri's machine takes only 10 seconds. Other machines cannot run samples on 96-well plates whereas Accuri flow cytometer does not require transfer material into another tube, it can run directly from the 96-well plates. Due to limited lab space and the high speed and 96-well plate rotors Accuri is the only vendor able to meet the needs of this requirement. This project is supported by justification for other than full and open competition to Accuri Cytometers under authority of 41 U.S.C., 253(c)(1). Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the posting of this notice, their written capabilities statement and pricing information in the format they choose, not to exceed 10 pages. Please forward the capability statement and pricing information to Maria Shamburger, Procurement and Grants Office, 2920 Brandywine Rd, Atlanta, GA 30341, Reference 2010-88007. All vendors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) prior to an award of a federal contract. The website is: www.ccr.gov. The Government will review any/all capabilities statements and pricing information submitted and determine if other qualified sources do exist that could provide this requirement. Information received in response to this announcement will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, in accordance with FAR 13.406-1(b)(1), negotiations will be conducted with Accuri Cytometers as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted. For contractual questions contact Maria Shamburger by email at heg9@cdc.gov.
