- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition-PR0005968 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 ANDE Corporation, 266 2nd Ave, Waltham, MA 02451-1166 for the purpose of procuring a service agreement for the ANDE 6C instrument. In support of the FBI's Rapid DNA Initiative, the FBI has a requirement for a service agreement with ANDE Corporation to service its existing ANDE 6C instrument. The Rapid DNA Initiative was established by the FBI in order to develop an instrument capable of performing point of collection DNA analysis. The FBI Laboratory is in the process of evaluating the ANDE 6C Rapid DNA instrument in support of this initiative. In order for the FBI to proceed with the required studies it is necessary to establish a service agreement to ensure that preventive maintenance, instrument failure, and other necessary items are addressed in a timely and cost-effective manner which in turn will ensure this effort can move forward unhindered. Based on market research, and Government end-users, it has been determined that ANDE Corporation is the sole manufacturer of the FBI's existing ANDE 6C instrument and is the only vendor that can provide the required service agreement. 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 811219, Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. 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 Tuesday, February 27, 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. 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.
