Description
Statement of Work (SOW) Justification AG-6395-SS-16-805835 Pursuant to FAR Subpart 6.302-1(c), USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), intends to award a sole source supply contract in that only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements (see attached justification). The contract will be a firm-fixed price contract under FAR PART 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items with FAXITRON BIOPTICS LLC, 3440 E BRITANNIA DR STE 150, TUCSON, AZ, 85706-5006. The USDA-APHIS-S&T-CPHST Miami Laboratory located at 13601 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, FL 33158, has a requirement for a table-top cabinet x-ray imaging system with energy range between 10-50 kV and maximum 1.0 mA current. USDA-APHIS-S&T-CPHST intends to use the equipment to develop methods for detecting plant pests in commodities at PPQ field Plant Inspection Stations across the country. We image commodities such as seeds, fruits, vegetables, and wood products. Both the Statement of Work (SOW) and justification are attached. The SOW describes a table-top cabinet x-ray imaging system to be purchased for the CPHST Miami lab. PPQ Inspection Stations currently have table-top Faxitron cabinet x-ray systems. We need an x-ray unit with the same specifications. The requirement is essential to meeting the government's needs. Any interested sources capable of providing the equivalent supply item listed above are encouraged to submit statements of capability (which outlines how their item is equivalent or otherwise meets the complete requirements indicated in the justification) to the contracting office. Small business concerns are encouraged to participate. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No requests for capability briefings will be honored as a result of this notice. Interested sources who submit data are responsible for appropriately marking information if it is proprietary in nature. The Government will not award a contract based on the information received, nor reimburse participants for information they provide. This is not a request for competitive proposals. Information provided is strictly voluntary. Please email Statements of Capability to Patricia Simon at patricia.m.simon@aphis.usda.gov. Telephonic inquiries will not be honored. Closing date for submission of Capability Statements is 08/04/2016, at 3:00 p.m. central time. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 334517 with a small business size standard of less than 1000 employees.
