Description

Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Biotek Instruments, Inc. for the purchase of services for existing microplate washers, microplate readers, and lionheart microscope. The purpose of this action is to provide preventative maintenance, including valid calibrations. These services ensure the proper and safe operation of Biotek manufactured instruments such as microplate readers and washers that are used each day to generate valuable analytical data. Biotek is the only source that can provide preventive and repair services. Biotek is the only company that can provide genuine parts, technical services, and software support to ensure proper operation, repair, and calibration. A third party vendor would invalidate the warranty on existing instruments and could jeopardize years of research. Third party vendors are not certified by Biotek for trained technical expertise, knowledge, and/or skills to work on our Biotek items. In addition, Biotek genuine parts are necessary to repair and service the laboratory's instruments properly; Biotek does not provide replacements parts to third party service sources. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS; however, all responses received within seven (7) days of the issuance of this notice will be reviewed by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon 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. Any response should be emailed to contract specialist at kwp9@cdc.gov by 16 July 2018, 10:00 AM EST.
