- NOI-0004096 Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition 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, firm-fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement with Arbor Biosciences (Ann Arbor, MI) for the purpose of procuring myBaits human DNA enrichment kits. The FBI requires Arbor Bioscience's myBaits human DNA enrichment kits in order to support the ongoing evaluation of various Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms and technologies. The FBI is currently validating the myBaits human DNA enrichment kits for use in ongoing and future FBI investigations. Based on market research conducted and contacts made with knowledgeable individuals within the Government and related industry, it has been determined that Arbor Biosciences is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the myBaits human DNA enrichment kits; therefore, they are the only company capable of providing the consumables that will satisfy agency requirements. 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 associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the size standard is 1,000 employees. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement by contacting Keri Matthews via email only at KCMatthews@fbi.gov, no later than 1:00pm (Eastern) on Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Responses sent via other means (i.e. via telephone call, facsimile transmission, etc.) will not be considered. Information received will be used 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 utilizes a financial system that has a direct interface with the 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.
