Description

Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 (NCO 6) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Cepheid Inc., pursuant to FAR 13.106-1. The proposed sole source contract will constitute a maintenance service agreement for Cepheid Brand GeneXpert equipment for molecular diagnostics. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) does not authorize third party vendors to support their equipment. The VA Veterans Health Administration has a policy prohibiting the procurement of 'Gray Market' goods. The term 'gray market goods' is defined in the policy as 'the trade of a commodity through distribution channels which, while legal, are unofficial, unauthorized, or unintended by the original manufacturer.' The OEM does not train third parties in the maintenance of their equipment, not does it sell parts to resellers or third party companies. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Friday, September 4, 2015, 4:00PM, EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Daniel Spaulding (contractor) at daniel.spaulding@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
