- Description
- The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to Sinclair Bio-Resources LLC; 562 State Road DD, Auxvasse, MO 65231-1012; for the performance of a research and development (R&D) project in support of the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio (NAMRU-SA), Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The estimated period of performance of the project is 36 months. The research project will be for an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract to provide the delivery of up to 125 healthy male Yucatan swine with weights ranging from 20-80kg. The swine will be healthy, disease free, swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) tested and shipped within 1 mismatch, at the required weight in 100% of the ordered quantity for each delivery, or the shipment shall be replaced. The animal facility requires the vendor to have a United States Department of Agriculture approved Class A animal breeder license. The requirement supports research focuses on the protection, resuscitation and stabilization of combat casualties at Echelon 1 and 2 points of care in the combat theater. Healthy male Yucatan swine are required for critical on-going NAMRU-SA future scientific research efforts to have healthy, disease free animals from one vendor; this will ensure the scientific data generated is consistent, which is critical when testing different vendor devices under that same research environment. Due to the early involvement of Sinclair Bio-Resources LLC providing healthy male Yucatan in previous ongoing research efforts, they must continue to provide this supply until commencement to avoid the injection of inconsistency in study results. In addition, it is imperative that new data is being created, collected and reviewed under the same controls as previous data collection to ensure consistent analysis is being performed. This is critical to the integrity of the entire study and can only be accomplished through the use of the same supplier. In addition, Sinclair Bio-Resources LLC has an established history of delivering 100% healthy lots. Loss of one or two animals due to diseases will cause a major disruption on data collection and data analysis. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management and technical data and cost information, in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to perform the required work. Capability statements shall not exceed 1 (8.5 x 11 inch) page and shall be submitted in 12 point, Times New Roman font. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source contract. Capability statements are due by 4:00 PM Eastern Time, 03 May, 2018.
