- Description
- The purpose of this Amendment is to clarify the location of the vendor, and to accurately identify the source from which this supply will be procured. This is a notice of intent, not a request for a proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support/Simplified Acquisitions (SS/SA) Branch, on behalf of the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Thermo Electron, North America (NA), LLC, located at 1400 North Point Parkway, Suite 10; West Palm Beach, FL 33407, to upgrade an existing Cell Based Robotic Assay system at NINDS. The NeuroTherapeutics Development Unit at NINDS is requiring an upgrade to the Operating System (OS) of their existing cell based robotic assay system, which will improve its performance and operating efficiency, and serves an integral part of the NINDS Translational Neuroscience Center. The upgrade to the cell based assay system will improve performance efficiency of research projects aimed at developing neuro-protective and neuro-regenerative therapeutic entities. This work includes development of cell-based assays to identify, evaluate, and characterize potential agents as possible treatments for neurological disorders. These assays are completed by utilizing the cell based robotic assay system at NINDS, which was custom-designed and manufactured by Thermo Electron NA, LLC. Thermo Electron, NA, LLC is the sole provider of the custom-built assay system, and is the only known source that can satisfy agency requirements. System upgrade includes an integration of proprietary products to the operating system that only Thermo Electron, NA, LLC can supply. This acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the acquisition of commercial items prescribed in FAR Part 12. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing this synopsis number, may be submitted to the NIDA SS/SA Branch, prior to the closing date specified in this announcement, electronically to the attention of Hunter A. Tjugum, at hunter.tjugum@nih.gov.
