Description

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition-PR0000440 PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, blanket purchase agreement (BPA) contract with Arc3 Gases, Inc., 1636 US-301, Dunn, NC, 28334 for the purpose establishing a blanket purchase agreement for Laboratory gases. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Laboratory Division has a requirement for gases to support its forensic science operations in the main FBI Laboratory Building. Specialized gases are used to operate scientific instruments and perform examinations in many Laboratory Division disciplines, including Chemistry, Explosives, Trace Evidence, Counterterrorism Forensic Science Research, DNA, Chem-Bio-Rad-Nuclear Sciences, and Firearms & Toolmarks. A single type of gas can be used for multiple functions and a single instrument can use multiple types of gases. Some of those gases include, Acetylene, argon (high pressure, liquid, and ultra-high purity), carbon dioxide (research grade), carbon monoxide (research grade), compressed air, helium (high purity and ultra-high purity), hydrogen (research grad), methane (ultra-high purity), nitrogen (gas, liquid, and ultra-high purity), oxygen and ultra-zero air. Gases must be available for routine delivery on a weekly basis and in the event of an emergency, delivery is required within 24 hours. The vendor must be able to refill the FBI's existing ARC3 Perma-Cyl with up to 1,000 liters of argon. Based on market research, and Government end-users, it has been determined that Arc3 Gases, Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing all of the required gases, the number of tanks required and the ability to fill the liquid argon tank. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 325120, Industrial Gas Manufacturing. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement to the attention of: Kemper Wood, email address: knwood@fbi.gov by Monday, October 30, 2017 (8:00 am Eastern). Emailed responses will only be considered. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is at the discretion of the Government. Vendors must be registered in SAM, effective July 29, 2012 to receive government contracts. The FBI uses a financial system that has a direct interface with SAM. Please ensure that your company's SAM information is updated and accurate. This includes TIN, EFT, DUNS, addresses and contact information. The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be what the FBI uses to process payment to your organization.
