- Description
- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Laboratory Science (DLS), intends to award a sole source purchase order to Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, 3050 Spruce St, Saint Louis, MO 63103-2530 for the acquisition of custom chemical synthesis of the following 9 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) tetrol standards. (8S,9R,10S,11R)-rel-8,9,10,11-tetrahydro-benz[a]anthracene-8,9,10,11-tetrol (8S,9R,10R,11S)-rel-8,9,10,11-tetrahydro-benz[a]anthracene-8,9,10,11-tetrol (8S,9R,10R,11R)-rel-8,9,10,11-tetrahydro-benz[a]anthracene-8,9,10,11-tetrol (1R,2S,3S,4R)-rel-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benz[a]anthracene-1,2,3,4-tetrol (1S,2S,3S,4R)-rel-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benz[a]anthracene-1,2,3,4-tetrol (1S,2R,3S,4R)-rel-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-chrysenetetrol (1S,2R,3R,4S)-rel-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-chrysenetetrol (1S,2R,3R,4R)-rel-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-chrysenetetrol (1R,2S,3R,4S)-rel-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-phenanthrene-1,2,3,4-tetrol 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 325199, All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing. The period of performance for this procurement is 12 months. Sigma-Aldrich is the only company that can provide the custom synthesis of these 9 PAH tetrol standards to meet all of the program requirements including purity, cost and time constraints. Tobacco smoke contains a large number of toxic chemicals, including large PAHs with 4 or more aromatic rings. These PAHs can be metabolized into tetrolmetabolites and excreted in urine. Measuring of these metabolites could aid researchers to study human exposure to these large PAHs in tobacco smoke and study health effects from tobacco smoke. In order to develop methods to measure these metabolites, we need analytical standards for identification and accurate measurement. Sigma-Aldrich is the only company that can conduct custom synthesis of these 9 standards in the timeframe that is needed for the FDA tobacco project. There is no other company that can provide the custom synthesis of these 9 PAH standards within the required timeframe. The PAH tetrol products will be used in tobacco project that has specific deliverable requirements within certain times. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to Sigma-Aldrich. However, firms that believe they can meet these requirements are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notice by providing a capability statement to the Contracting Officer by April 13, 2012. The Contracting Officer will not respond to verbal request. All requests must be in writing. 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. Inquiries shall be sent to Vallerie Redd by email at gfj3@cdc.gov and reference solicitation number 2012-Q-14464 on the subject line.
