- Description
- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source contract with Promega Corporation, 2800 Woods Hollow Road, Madison, WI 53711-5538 for 20 PowerPlex (R) 18D Systems, 200rxn. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the size standard is 750 employees. The Promega PowerPlex 18D are needed in order to begin an extensive assessment and developmental validation before they can be put in use by the FBI. The validation studies will be completed as mandated by the Quality Assurance Standards for Forensic DNA Testing Laboratories and Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB). The validation studies provide technical data useful for measuring the Promega PowerPlex kits performance to ensure that are acceptable for the FBI. Based on market research conducted and contacts made with knowledgeable individuals within the government and related industry, it has been determined the FBI's requirement can only be provided by Promega Corporation, as no other vendor is capable of providing the PowerPlex (R) 18D System that is needed for the assessment and validation to meet the FBI's requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office by 8:00 am, EST, by May 25, 2012, by email to the attention of Jerry Varnell, Contract Specialist, at Jerry.Varnell@ic.fbi.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The awardee shall be registered in the Central Contractor's Database (CCR) and also the Online Representations and Certification (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov.
