- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is the Nation's federal health sciences university and is committed to excellence in military medicine and public health during peace and war. We provide the Nation with health professionals dedicated to career service in the Department of Defense and the United States Public Health Service and with scientists who serve the common good. We serve the uniformed services and the Nation as an outstanding academic health sciences center with a worldwide perspective for education, research, service, and consultation; we are unique in relating these activities to military medicine, disaster medicine, and military medical readiness. USU is located in Bethesda, MD on the grounds of the Naval Support Activity Bethesda. The mission of the USU is to provide the highest quality education programs in the health sciences to those selected individuals who demonstrate dedication to a health profession career in the Uniformed Services. Intent to Sole-Source: USU intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Biotek Instruments, Inc. for one CYT5MFV upgrade for the School of Medicine�s (SOM) Pharmacology (PHA), Biochemistry (BIO), and Anatomy, Physiology and Genetics (APG) departments� shared Biotek Cytation 5 plate reader, CYT5MF. Intended Recipient: Biotek Instruments, Inc., 100 Tigan Street, Winooski, VT, 05404-1356 Sole Source Justification: USU procured the shared Cytation 5 (CYT5MF) plate reader in FY18 via purchase order HU000118PT338, which now requires the CYT5MFV upgrade. Biotek Instruments, Inc. (Biotek) is the manufacturer of both the Cytation 5 and the CYT5MFV upgrade; no other plate reader upgrade on the market is compatible with the CYT5MF. Biotek does not authorize any vendors to distribute Cytation 5 upgrades to include the CYT5MFV upgrade, therefore Biotek is the sole supplier of the required CYT5MFV upgrade. The Biotek Cytation 5 CYT5MFV upgrade will be procured in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). This is NOT a request for Quotes. In accordance with 5.207(c)(16)(i), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.� Responses to this notice must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and that the interested potential Offeror can supply the Biotek Cytation 5 CYT5MFV upgrade. Information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. Responses must be received via email at amanda.talley@usuhs.edu by 12:00PM on Tuesday, May 26, 2020.
