- Description
- The USDA, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), Technical Services Division (TSD) intends to issue a sole source award using commercial and simplified acquisition procedures for a LECO TruMac Nitrogen/Protein Macro Determinator system, Item # TRMNLC with accessories and maintenance services. The Government believes that this instrument is currently the only CNA offered commercially that allows for large (greater than or equal to 3 grams) sample sizes for analysis of non-homogeneous grain samples in less than 4 minutes. The system will provide reference protein analysis on grains and other processed products and is the only provider for such an instrument that will meet all GIPSA requirements. The larger sample offers a significant increase in accuracy and precision in the determination of protein present in the sample, which is essential for GIPSA to maintain the national official protein services to facilitate grain marketing. To ensure standardization of testing non-homogeneous grain samples, it is essential that FGIS use a LECO TruMac Nitrogen/Protein Macro Determinator system, Item # TRMNLC. However, no equivalent is known. The proposed contract action is for products for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Any questions or inquiries must be e-mailed to the Contracting Office, to the attention of the point of contact listed in this notice. Requests by telephone will not be honored. Point of contact: Leah Schultz, Contracting Specialist, E-mail: leah.h.schultz@aphis.usda.gov.
