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 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The period of performance for this procurement is a base year of 12 months and four (4) option years of 12 months each. The Division of Laboratory Sciences utilizes a variety of equipment from Shimadzu Scientific Instruments to accomplish its public health mission. Instruments are used in analyses performed for chemical terrorism, emergency response, biomonitoring activities, and in research and development to establish new analytical methods for a broad variety of sample types on a wide range of mission critical projects. These instruments are highly complex and maintenance and repair requires a high degree of technical proficiency and training. In order to ensure readiness to respond in the event of a chemical/biological terrorist event or in the case of an environmental emergency, it is crucial that these instruments are functional and able to perform the required analysis. This procurement is a sole source to Shimadzu Scientific because they are the only company with factory trained and certified technical and scientific staff trained on Shimadzu instruments. They are the only company that is certified and have the required experience in troubleshooting, repairing, and doing preventive maintenance on new and old Shimadzu equipment. Additionally, Shimadzu has access to technical document updates and factory warrantied repair parts which are required in order to properly maintain the equipment. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to Shimadzu Scientific Instruments. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit their capabilities/qualifications statement to provide the services to Leslie Jones via email ONLY at jxy6@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2013-N-15048 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN July 9, 2013.
