- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Acquisition Management in Washington, D.C. intends to establish a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, Other Than Full and Open Competition procedures and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, for the acquisition of Illumina, Inc. enzymes, chemical reagents, reaction mixes and testing kits. The equipment to be offered under this BPA will support the Illumina sequencing instrument MiSeq System previously purchased under Order #EP-12-W-000116. The Office of Research and Development (ORD), National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) located in Cincinnati, OH has ongoing research that requires numerous products (see attachment). Agency scientists have designed numerous techniques and methods using this vendor?s products. Using the Illumina?s products will provide consistency, thus maintaining the integrity and validity of the scientific methods. If other vendor?s products were used, they would have to evaluate and re-optimize Agency techniques which would result in a waste of significant resources, both funding and time. No solicitation or Request for Quote (RFQ) is available for this procurement. Nevertheless, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting the EPA requirements described herein may submit a response; which, if received within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this announcement, will be reviewed for consideration. Responses to this posting must be submitted in writing via e-mail only. A determination not to compete the described requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Federal Government. Any questions or comments should be directed via e-mail ONLY to Frank Bottalico at Bottalico.Frank@epa.gov. Details regarding this action may also be found at http://www.epa.gov/oam/srpod/index.htm Thank you for your interest.
