- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with AB Sciex LLC, North American Sales and Service, 1201 Radio Road, Redwood City, CA 94065 to provide a maintenance support plan for the AB Sciex 4000 QTRAP System and Shimadzu Standard LC System. AB Sciex is the manufacturer of the 4000 QTrap and is the only vendor with the expertise to ensure proper operation instrument. In addition, AB Sciex has the exclusive rights to the software, hardware, and operating licenses for this equipment. It would therefore be impossible to maintain proper functioning of the instrument without AB Sciex support. In addition, it is neither possible nor cost effective to identify additional sources for hardware or software replacements in the event of a problem. Therefore, the service contract is recommended to be processed through AB Sciex without full and open competition. The circumstance permitting is FAR 6.302-1 ?Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements?. The anticipated period of performance is a 12 month base period and two each 12 month option periods for a total of 36 months. All interested parties who believe they can provide the required services should fully explain their capabilities and qualifications in writing within 10 days from the date of this announcement and provide itemized pricing that is sufficient to make a determination that competition is feasible. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation is available. Consequently, anyone failing to provide the aforementioned and instead chooses to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the statement of work or more information about the project will be ignored. The information received to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determini ng whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Please submit response to the U.S. EPA, Attn: Sammie Jones (MC-E105-02), RTP Procurement Operations Division, 109 Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. No telephone or faxed requests will be honored.
