- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS) intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price purchase order to Analytical West. The address is 387 Magnolia Avenue, Suite 103, Corona, California 992879-3308. 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 requirement. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). The size standard is 1000 employees. The Government intends to purchase ICAP Consumables needed by the Inorganic and Radiation Analytical Toxicology Branch (IRATB). The ICAP consumables will be used to support the ICAP Qa ICP instruments in support of the Cr and Co in whole blood biomonitoring method. Analytical West's thermo branded components are the only ones that we have found that give the CDC the desired instrument performance specifications. Since the thermo ICP-MS instruments in CDC labs are used for an established, validated analytical method that is used for routine biomonitoring analysis, the quality of the results being obtained through these instruments has to be preserved. The quality of the results obtained declined when using some of these non-OEM branded parts. The CDC has found that even very minor differences in product specifications affect the performance of these instruments. Only Analytical West makes these ICAP consumables. Analytical West specially makes these ICAP consumables upon demand to exact specifications. Only Analytical West's thermo branded cones and inserts can be used for all phases of our extensive year-long research and development phase before the instruments were initially put into use and deemed acceptable. No solicitation will be posted to FedBizOpps. We will only issue a solicitation to Analytical West. Analytical West is the only source available to provide this service that meets mission critical requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposal. A determination to compete this procurement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Interested parties who believe they possess the capability to satisfy this requirement should submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet this requirement. All responses must be sent in writing to Mr. Tim Williams via email to TLWilliams3@cdc.gov using solicitation number 2017-Q-66943 in the subject line, no later than 8:00am Eastern Time, June 22, 2017.
