This proposed action is for the procurement of nCounter Master Kits and CodeSets for use on the nCounter MAX Analysis System owned by the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Force Health Protection research division located at Wright-Patterson AFB. The reason for lack of competition is that NanoString Technologies, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and North American distributor of the only kits and CodeSets that are able to meet all AF requirements, including compatibility with their already owned NanoString nCounter MAX Analysis System and software. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and FSC code 6550- In vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits. Business size standard for NAICS 334516 is 1,000 employees. The proposed source is NanoString Technologies, Inc.

Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources or authorized distributors may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by Friday, 14 September 2018 by 2pm EST and meets all the following requirements: Specific Requirements: Hu v3 miRNA CodeSet Kit 12 rxn (CSO-MIR3-12) QTY: 24 EA nCounter Master Kit -48 rxns (NAA-AKIT-048) QTY: 6 KITS Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
