- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in the notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a Request for Quote (RFQ). This procurement is conducted unrestricted with full and open competition, open to both large and small businesses. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the procurement is 334516 and the Small Business size standard is 500 Employees. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center Contracting Office, has a requirement for a Nanoparticle Size Analyzer. This instrument is able to determine the size of particles within the nanometer range (1-1000 nm). The desired nanoparticle size analyzer must have the following specifications: a. Use particle tracking software to measure nanoparticle Brownian motion and thus nanoparticle size particle-byparticle b. Be able to visualize the particles during analysis and provide video confirmation of particle sizes for data presentations c. Be able to determine nanoparticle sizes in complex nanoparticles (e.g., metals/metal oxide nanoparticles, proteins, viruses, exosomes/vesicles, etc), complex nanoparticle mixtures (i.e., particle mixtures ranging from 10 nm to 1000 nm), and in complex matrices (e.g., wastewater effluent) d. Be able to measure nanoparticle size kinetics over time without needing to remove the sample from the device because of sample alteration (i.e., heating) e. Have a high signal-to-noise design by using dark black background material, improving the resolution between particles f. Be able to distinguish true size distribution between multiple particles ranging in size without size bias (i.e., small populations of large particles resulting in large number count, while large populations of small particles resulting in smaller number count) g. Required minimal sample preparation h. Come with a computer for particle size analysis i. Provide multiple modes of data analysis and interpretation (e.g., histogram, scatter plot, etc.) j. Fit a laboratory bench footprint less than 3' x 3' x 3' k. Be able to switch out lasers for additional analyses (red [638 nm] and blue [405 nm]) FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable in accordance with Clause 52.212-2 Evaluation -Commercial Items. Technical data is required to verify technically acceptable. The Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Condition - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The Clause at 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The clauses cited within the clause as indicated below are applicable: FAR clauses 52.209-6, 52.219-6, 52.219-28, 52.222-3, 52.222-19, 52.222-21, 52.222-26, 52.222-35, 52.222-36, 52.222-37, 52.225-1, 52.225-5, 52.225-13, and 52.232-33. The clause at DFARS 252.212-7001, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of Commercial Items, DFARS 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports, and DFARS 252.232-7010, Levies on Contract Payments applies to this acquisition. All interested firms must be registered in SAM. The Government will award a contract resulting from this synopsis/solicitation to the responsible lowest price offeror whose offer meets and/or exceeds the specifications herein. If you are not registered in the (SAM) System for Award Management (formerly CCR, ORCA, and EPLS), an award cannot be made to your company. You may register electronically at https://www.sam.gov/. Registering electronically will expedite the registration process acquisition. All quotes should be emailed to: amanda.andrews@usace.army.mil no later than 11:00 am CST 27 September 2012.
