- Description
- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Laboratory Science, intends to award a sole source contract to Sigma Aldrich P.O. 14508 St. Louis, MO, 63178 for carbon-13 stable isotope internal standards: trans- 9-octadecenoic acid-1, 2, 3, 7, 8-13C%, trans -11-cotadecenoic acid -1, 2, 3, 9, 10-13C5, trans, trans-9,12-octadecadecadienoic acid-14, 15, 16, 17, 18-13C5 and trans -9-hexadecenoic acid-1, 2, 3, 7, 8, -13C5. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 325998, All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing. The purpose of this procurement is for Sigma Aldrich to provide the analysis of trans fatty acids in human plasma. The C13 stable isotope internal standards will increase selectivity and sensitivity of the compounds to be measured in NHANES population samples. Sigma Aldrich is the only responsible source capable of meeting all of the Government's requirement because they are the only certified source able to synthesize the C13 stable isotopes needed within the required time (less than four months) and with specified purity. The manufacturing of such compounds is a very complicated process which requires a highly skilled synthetic chemist to make these compounds. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to the Sigma Aldrich. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit their capabilities/qualifications statement to provide the services to Vallerie Redd via email ONLY at gjf3@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2011-93166 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN March 1, 2011. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action will be based on responses to this notice and are solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
