Description

Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Medical Research Networx (100 Stonewall Blvd, Suite 102, Wrentham, MA 02093) for the purchase of 62 sera specimens for "Preparation of a new reference panel of well characterized sera to be used as a national standard for testing of immunity to Rubella." No other sources of panels exist, and urgency exists due to FDA mandate to make panel. In the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Chapter 1, Sub-chapter 8 (Medical Devices), Part 866 (Immunology and Microbiology Devices), Subpart D (Serological reagents), Section 866.3510 (Rubella virus serological reagents), 2 (ii), it is stipulated that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will provide a "Reference Panel of Well Characterized Rubella Sera" to be used as a special control for such devices. Companies request this panel from the Measles Mumps Rubella and Herpesvirus Laboratory Branch (MMRHLB) and their results from testing of the panel are a component of applications for approval of test kits for detection of rubella immunity. Analysis of results is also performed by the MMRHLB. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to contract specialist at email@cdc.gov by COB 13 August 2014.
