- The USDA National Veterinary Science Laboratory in Ames, IA intend to award a purchase order for a 12-month service maintenance agreement, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR Part 13.106 (b), with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. for maintenance on the Bio-Rad brand laboratory equipment listed below. This service maintenance agreement will be procured as a commercial item in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). The sole source determination is based on Bio-Rad Laboratories being the sole source for factory trained labor and maintenance services for all instrumentation manufactured and sold by Bio-Rad Laboratories. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP-PPE-0030, SOP-PPE-0031, SOP-PPE-0043, SOP-PPE-0057) require the use of BioRad brand equipment and reagents. The Bio Rad instruments are critical components of the testing methods used in the diagnosis or confirmation of scrapie, chronic wasting disease (CWD), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Bovine Tuberculosis (TB), and ongoing service is necessary to maintain the equipment. The period of performance for the service maintenance agreement commences on February 1, 2014 and concludes January 31, 2015. The anticipated total value of the purchase order is $29,640.00. This is not a request for quotation. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can obtain/provide a maintenance agreement contract utilizing factory authorized parts and service that will not invalidate equipment warranties for the listed equipment. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to michael.j.chiodi@aphis.usda.gov. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 3:00 pm central time, January 24, 2014. Bio-Rad brand laboratory equipment models covered under the maintenance agreement: Molecular Imager VersaDoc MP 4000 System (#1708643WSMT) (2 ea) SCA, New Sample Prep Sys MNTH (#3590130WSMT) (1 ea)
