- Description
- Equipment List The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Environmental Health, Division of Laboratory Sciences, intends to award a sole source blanket purchase agreement to The Lab Depot, 496 Lumpkin Camp Ground Rd, Dawsonville, GA 30534, for the purchase of tobacco products, including cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products (i.e. e-cigarettes, snuff and snus). The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1 - only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. The NAICS code for this procurement is 423490, Other Professional Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesales with a size standard of 500. The period of performance for this procurement is sixty (60) months. The DLS Tobacco Laboratory is part of a cooperative agreement with FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). As a part of the cooperative agreement, CDC has specific timelines and deliverables that must be met. The purchase large volumes of cigarettes and oral tobacco products is critical to meet and fulfill obligations defined under the cooperative agreement. The studies conducted under this agreement will involve measuring the levels of nicotine, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, humectants, etc, in both cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products. The Lab Depot is the only responsible source capable of meeting all of the Government's requirements. The CDC has a need to purchase a large volume of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products quickly in order to meet critical deadlines. The Lab Depot has a cigarette purchasing agreement that allows for the purchase of cigarettes above the 2-5 carton limit most retailers impose as a guideline from the cigarette manufacturers. Some of the tobacco products have short shelf lives, and storage space for the products is limited and CDC does not have the ability to keep extra tobacco products on hand. The Lab Depot has the ability to provide a large volume of tobacco products with a quick turnover rate that is essential to the completion of the CDC studies. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to The Lab Depot. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit a capabilities statement to provide the services to Tessa Buffington via email ONLY at vsr3@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2015-N-17153 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN May 22, 2015. All requests must be in writing.
