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 ThinkMate company, to procure two new GPX XT24-24S1-100RTX Server to replace expand the existing servers. This is a follow-on order for servers previously purchased. These servers analyze raw data in several thousands of high resolution 2D image, which occupied hundreds of gigabytes (GB) to several terabytes (TB) storage space. Also, the informatics method processing the images, which requires dedicated Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), to speed up the reconstruction of 3D protein structure. These GPU servers will allow for more power, memory, speed, and storage space to handle extremely large data files generated by cryoEM. Additionally, these servers are currently in use and calibrated to our internal systems. 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-2032903) to Laura Grey at laura.grey@nih.gov, by 2:00 pm eastern standard time August 16, 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.
