- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT - 66 Instruments & Laboratory Equipment The United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), National Soil Survey Center (NSSC), located in Lincoln, NE, intends to award a sole source fixed price purchase order to Perkin Elmer (PE) Health Sciences Inc., located at 710 Bridge Bridgeport Avenue, Shelton, CT 06484-4794. This award is being procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii)(A), Only One Responsible Source and no other Supplies will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The NSSC conducts various laboratory and field analyses and studies associated with soils disciplines, method development and national initiatives. Currently, NSSC uses PE's AAnalyst (AA) 300 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, which was purchased several years ago. This instrument needs to be upgraded with the AA400 model, which will allow a systematic upgrade to transition with the AA300. The AA400 software is compatible with the AA300 model and uses the same software platform that would allow the copying of existing methods. Both models interface with each other and are interchangeable with existing accessories, hardware, and supplies that are stocked by NSSC (lamps, nebulizers, etc). To compete this award would create substantial duplication of costs in which the Government is not expected to recover. Requirements Summary: PE #B315080 Atomic Absorption AAnalyst 400 Unit components/accessories +N2020005 S10 Auto-sampler for AA +N0400100 Analyst Burner Head N20-C2H2 +N0205001 Training-Flame AA at Perkin Elmer Technical Center +AA400P0S0 Extended Warranty-AAnalyst 400 repair service plan +AAAUTSMPLRPOSO Extended Warranty-AA Auto-sampler +N3050114 CA LUMINA HCL^ +N3050144 MG LUMNA HCL^ +N3050139 K LUMINA HCL^ +N39050148 NA LUMINA^ +N0400102 AAnalyst Burner Head 10CM AIR-C2H2 +N0400058 Drain Assy-LOUI^ A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed order is at the sole discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. This is a notice and a solicitation will not be issued. NRCS will not respond to requests for solicitation copies and will not pay for information received in response to this announcement. This notice is not a request for proposals. No solicitation document is available. The associated North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334516 and the Business Size Standard is 500 employees. Information received will normally be considered for purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement for similar purchases in the future.
