- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition- PR0004093 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 sole source, fixed price, Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a sixty (60) month ordering period with ANDE Corporation, 266 2nd Avenue, Waltham, MA, 02451-116 for the purpose of procuring ANDE reagents and consumable supplies. In support of the FBI's Rapid DNA initiative, the FBI has a requirement for ANDE reagents and consumables. The Rapid DNA initiative was established by the FBI in order to develop an instrument capable of performing point collection DNA analysis. The FBI Laboratory is in the process of evaluating the ANDE 6C (Accelerated Nuclear DNA equipment) 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 BPA to purchase the consumables needed to operate this instrument. Based on market research, and Government end-users, it has been determined that ANDE Corporation is the sole manufacturer of the ANDE instruments and its associated consumables and therefore the only company capable of providing all of the required reagents and consumable supplies. 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 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. 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 Monday, April 9, 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.
