- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition-PR0004123 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, fixed price contract with Tecan U. S., Inc., 9401 Globe Center Dr Ste 140, Morrisville, NC 27560-6211 for the purpose of procuring training in the proper use of the software and maintenance of the Tecan instrument. The FBI is expanding the capabilities of their laboratory to better serve the forensics community. Specifically, the number of core CODIS loci analyzed by the Federal DNA Unit has increased. In order to be efficient with these new technologies, all personnel must be trained in the proper use of the software and maintenance of their instrumentation. The requested training will allow the FBI personnel to utilize all the Tecans to their fullest potential and in turn increase the throughput and efficiency of the Federal DNA Unit processes. The training from the manufacturer, Tecan U. S., Inc. will give our biologists and examiners hands on experience with updated software and troubleshooting which will assist in a seamless implementation process. It is imperative that laboratory personnel are trained in the technology as well as the instruments and software created by Tecan in order to efficiently process and analyze the volume of samples submitted to the Unit on a regular basis. Based on market research, and Government end-users, it has been determined that Tecan U. S., Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the FBI's existing Tecan instruments and is the only vendor that can provide the required training on the proper use of the software and maintenance of the instrument. 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 611430, Professional and Management Development Training. The FBI 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 Thursday, February 15, 2018 (12:00 pm 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.
