- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE ORDER AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS. This contract action is for the acquisition of supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b). The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Office of Acquisitions (OA) intends to award a single source purchase order to Thermo Fisher Scientific, 4500 Turnberry Drive, Hanover Park, IL 60133-5491, for the purchase of a Quant Studio real-time PCR machine.

CALIBRATION INSTALL The mission of NIEHS is to "discover how the environment affects people to promote healthier lives". For decades PD has been known to be associated with environmental exposures such as infectious agents, pesticides and heavy metals. Our institute acknowledges PD as one of eight common diseases "strongly linked to environmental exposures". By focusing on how neuro-inflammation, as triggered by environmental risk factors, is involved in the pathogenesis of PD we hope to develop novel therapies targeted to halt the progression of PD. To accomplish this, we need a real-time PCR instrument with interchange 96-well, 96-well Fast, and 384-well formats, compatible with current reagents and supplies used in lab. Data needs to accessible from anywhere without use of flash drives. The QuantStudio real-time PCR machine will allow for continued use of these assays and supplies without having to optimize new protocols and procedures with a different machine. This allows for continuity of research progress in the lab and would not cause a slowdown in research progress. Another system will require a new set up causing a disruption in the current project work flow. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 "Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and a size standard of 1000. NIEHS will solicit and negotiate directly with Thermo Fisher Scientific and no solicitation will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations; however, all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties must express their interest and must be submitted in writing via email to shields3@niehs.nih.gov within eight (8) days after the date of publication of this notice. No faxed documents will be accepted. If no responsive statements are received within eight (8) days, an award will be made to Thermo Fisher Scientific.
