- Description
- The US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), Office of Acquisition Management (OAM), Emergency Response Service Center (ERSC) on behalf of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) and under the authority of FAR Part 6.302 intends to award a sole source purchase order to Illumina, Inc for the purchase of a service contract (maintenance agreement) for EPA ORD's MiSeq system. ORD's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) located in Cincinnati, Ohio has ongoing research that requires use of the MiSeq System. ORD NERL's scientist have designed numerous techniques and methods using Illumina's MiSeq System. Illumina will not honor the warranty under this system if a service contract is awarded to any other vendor. Using another vendor may interrupt the integrity and validity of the scientific methods currently in use. This in turn would result in a significant waste of resources, both funding and time. Illumina is the only company capable of maintaining the afor ementioned system in order to maintain consistent test sequencing outcomes. This is NOT a request for a quote (RFQ). Any concerns or issues may be addressed via email to: scott.elaine@epa.gov. FAR 13.106-1(iv)(b) gives the Contracting Officer the discretion not to compete this requirement. IGF::OT::IGF
