- FAR Clause 52.212-4; FAR Clause 52.212-5; Invoice Instructions Purchase Description (i) This is a solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) The solicitation number is NIHDA2018000531 and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) on a non-competitive (brand-name only), unrestricted (open to both small and large business) basis under authority of FAR Subpart 6.302-1 - only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. A fixed price purchase order is contemplated for this requirement. This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5-Test Program for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-97-1 / 01-24-2018. (iv) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Equipment Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. (v) Background: The NIDA IRP Pre-Clinical Pharmacology Section (PPS) is a part of a multi-lab (both clinical and preclinical) ongoing collaboration to evaluate opiates that may, as a class, produce less respiratory depression, the primary cause of death by overdose. PPS needs to be able to monitor respiration in awake behaving non-human primates without surgical implantation of sensors. These animals are being used for preclinical behavioral pharmacology experiments that evaluate the reinforcing (i.e. abuse potential) properties of drugs. PPS is trying to develop safer opiates, by studying a newly discovered class of these compounds known as "biased agonists." The properties these compounds are predicted to display, include equivalent analgesia, but decreased respiratory depression. Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this requirement is to provide NIDA-IRP with four (4) Model 1200T 3-Channel Monitoring & Gating Systems, which will enable NIDA-IRP to measure how drugs alter respiration (i.e. breathing rate) in awake primates. This objective of this requirement will serve as a critical step for the development and eventual clinical application of safer opiates. Project Requirements: Please see attached Purchase Description for further details. Delivery Date: The estimated delivery date is 30 days ARO. The provision at FAR clause 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following is provided as an addendum to clause 52.212-2: (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, i.e. this RFQ will be evaluated on the basis of Lowest-Price Technically-Acceptable (LPTA). Offeror's submitting a response must provide a completed Price Quote to be evaluated and considered for award. Price quotes must indicate fixed unit pricing and total cost, including shipping cost and estimated time of delivery after receipt of order, and warranty and training considerations. Under the lowest-price technically acceptable (LPTA) process, Offerors' will be determined to be "technically acceptable" or "technically unacceptable" based on an evaluation of responses against the following factors to determine if, as submitted, the proposal is technically acceptable.
