- Description
- This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal.� The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with CTL Analyzers, Shaker Heights, OH 44122 to procure an Extended Warranty on two Immunospot Analyzers. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.� For more than 60 years, NIAID research has led to new therapies, vaccines, diagnostic tests, and other technologies that have improved the health of millions of people in the United States (U.S.) and around the world.� NIAID has a unique mandate, which requires the Institute to respond to emerging public health threats. To facilitate its efforts, the NIAID has created the Integrated Research Facility (IRF) as a part of the National Interagency Biodefense Campus located at Ft. Detrick, MD.� The NIAID IRF is a specialized biocontainment facility with the appropriate infrastructure to support basic research and animal studies with various infectious disease agents including those requiring the highest level of biocontainment, (BSL-4), to evaluate therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics as well as natural history and pathogenesis associated with these agents.� The primary focus of the IRF is to manage, coordinate and facilitate the conduct of research with emerging infectious diseases and biodefense pathogens.� The mission outcome is to develop improved medical outcomes for patients and develop medical countermeasures and control strategies for human health. The Immunospot Analyzers are Used to read ELISPOT assays, FluoroSpot assays, cell viability assays, apoptosis assays, and cytotoxicity assays. The Immunospot Analyzers are essential for reading assays of several types in both the BSL2 and BSL4 laboratories supporting critical studies at the IRF. In order to keep the integrity of on-going research projects it is imperative that this equipment be maintained in fully operational status.� Failure to keep the warranty on this equipment would negatively impact research in progress and fail to protect the investment of the laboratory in both the equipment and resources designated for these projects. The place of equipment is 8200 Research Plaza, Frederick, MD 21702. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C.1901 (e) (2) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.� All responsible sources that could provide comparable services may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-NIAID-2011405) to Skye Duffner at skye.duffner@nih.gov by 10:00 am eastern standard time, May 27, 2020.� All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.� A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
