- Description
- Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Office of Noncommunicable Diseases, Injury and Environmental Health (ONDIEH), plan to procure on a sole source basis the brand name QuantStudio 5.02ml qPCR System from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Brookfield, WI 53005 in order to satisfy the Agency's requirement. This acquisition will be processed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12, Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR part 13.106-1(b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516 and the business size standard is 1,000 employees. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. Delivery shall be within sixty (60) days after award. A sole source acquisition is justified because Thermo Fisher Scientific is the only analytical instrument that will meet our technical requirements. There are no other suppliers that will satisfy our analytical requirements. The acquisition from Thermo Fisher provides continuity and standardization with current software and measurement procedures. Also, allows Thermo Fisher Scientific to maintain productivity, reduce time needed for training, and take advantage of configuration management features used on other current systems. CDC intends to negotiate this requirement with Thermo Fisher Scientific, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), Only One Responsible Source, and 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1). Thermo Fisher Scientific is the only source available to provide these services and meet the Agency's critical requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations. A determination to compete this procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties who believe they possess the capabilities to satisfy this requirement should submit a capability statement demonstrating their abilities to meet this requirement as described above. All responses should be received by August 4, 2016, at 10AM, Eastern Standard Time (EST). All responses must be in writing and sent via email to bbv9@cdc.gov with the reference number 2016-Q-65623 in the subject line. No telephone calls will be accepted.
