- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a fixed price purchase order to Vaculex USA, of Charlotte, NC, for the purchase of a Vaculex TPH Lifting System. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is conducting research to investigate the effects of engineering controls on reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in airport baggage handlers. The research project requires a specific type of vacuum lifting assist system that is compatible with the equipment used for baggage operations in the airport tarmac area. The specific requirements include (1) a light-weight carbon fiber articulate arm that can be mounted to a belt loader (conveyor used for transporting baggage to the aircraft cargo spaces), (2) portability of the system, and (3) capable of lifting heavy bags of various types of fabric up to 90 lbs. Additionally, use of the Vaculex system provides continuity with prior NIOSH research on reduction in musculoskeletal disorders in airport baggage screener and handlers. This procurement action is for a product for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested businesses may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This purchase is for a commercial item and procedures in FAR Parts 12 and 13 apply. Award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures found in FAR Part 13. The NAICS code for this action is 333923 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. All vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov, prior to an award of a federal contract. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon 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. Any quotation/ response must be emailed to Florence Black at fpblack@cdc.gov by 1:00 PM, EDST, August 19, 2013.
