- Description
- The United States Army Medical Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, IAW FAR 13.106-1(b) with Emka Technologies USA, 307 Annandale Rd, Falls Churcl VA 22042, as the only responsible source that can provide the specialised system needed to fulfill this acquisition. This requirement is for the in vivo physiological study of laboratory animals to study effects of chemical agents on normal physiology. EMKA Technologies has developed a special system for these types of experiments by development of implantable presure sensors solid state units. EMKA is the only provider of solid state sensors. EMKA data transmitters additionally have rechargeable batteries in situ which will lower overall cost of ownership of the system. This system will be used for characterization in vivo of chemical agent effects on normal cardiopulmonary function. The software and analytical components of the EMKA system are backwards compatible, fully able to read and analyze previously collected data. Given EMKA Technologies system's compatibility with data previously collected at MRICD, it is essential that a physiological telemetry system that is both more robust and costs less to operate than systems currently employed be procured from EMKA Technologies. There are no other commercially distributed chambers that can fulfill this need. All capability statements received by closing of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Based on the above information, the only technically acceptable system is provided by Emka Technologies USA. Submit email capability statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Jackie McGurk at Jacklyn.McGurk@amedd.army.mil. FAX information may be sent to 410-436-4863; ATTN: Jackie McGurk. Email statements are preferred. Statements are due no later than (NLT) 1200hrs (12 noon EST) on 28 AUG 2012. No telephone calls will be accepted.
