- Description
- The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), Fort Detrick, MD intends to issue a sole source award to Getinge USA, Inc. for the modernization of up to 23 Castle Model sterilizers with MCII control systems with the current model PACS 3000 sterilizers located at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The required service entails the modernization of up to 23 Castle Model sterilizers with MCII control systems with the current model PACS 3000 sterilizers located at USAMRIID. The requirement will include installation and testing of each installed sterilizer. The control portion of the equipment will be replaced along with the plumbing and rewiring of equipment to enable interfacing with the existing structural components. The sterilizers are responsible for the safe removal of contaminated waste from the Biological Safety Level (BSL) 3 and 4 laboratories at USAMRIID. Getinge group is the only responsible source that can fulfill this requirement and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The existing Castle sterilizers have been specifically designed and engineered for use at USAMRIID and were originally manufactured by Getinge Group. They are the only ones in existence. Any other manufactured or refurbishment parts would greatly compromise the integrity and safe operations of the sterilizers. The existing sterilizer vessels located at USAMRIID will remain in place and will be stripped, reinsulated, re-piped, and all new modern control systems and wiring will be installed. The parts for this requirement are specifically made by Getinge to modernize the existing sterilizers into the new PACS 3000 model. Awarding to any other source, other than Getinge, would compromise the integrity and safe operation of the sterilizer and result in substantial delays to the Government. This notice of intent is for information purposes only, therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. All sources eligible to provide this service must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within 15 days, 07 May 2014, after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable supplies and services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this award is to be sent to roman.e.laterza.civ@mail.mil.
