- Description
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) located in Ames, IA, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), intends to issue a sole-source purchase order to Mettler Toledo located in Columbus, CO, for an MCP1-S Calibration Workstation. The pipette calibration system is used to support PCR genetic diagnostic techniques critical to quick response during potential animal disease outbreaks. Mettler Toledo Inc. is the only manufacturer known to have a pipette calibration system that is flexible for calibration of single and multi-channel pipettes, volume > 10 ul and 12 channel pipettes. This system is faster than conventional analytical balance and is ideal for on-site calibration. A purchase order valued at $37,122.30 is anticipated with Mettler Toledo Inc., the sole distributer of the MCP1-S Calibration Workstation brand equipment. This is not a request for quote, and no formal solicitation will be issued. This notice is for informational purposes only. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Anyone interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide an equivalent multichannel pipette calibration system in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to kimyen.nguyen@aphis.usda.gov.
