- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NICHD-20-60 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-08. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 and the business size standard is 1000e. However, this solicitation is not set aside for small business. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intend to procure on a sole source basis with Infors USA Inc., a new Multitron Incubated shaker and components/accessories: 1. Item# MS032T6 Multitron Std Pkg, triple 25 mm, top cooling, 6"" - Quantity (1) EA 2. Item# 12305 ATR18 Tube rack 39x018mm (15ml conical) � Quantity (2) EA 3. Item# 12310 ATR30 Tube rack 16x030mm (50ml conical) � Quantity (2) EA 4. Item# 12203 ATK250 Clamp, 250ml Infors - Quantity (12) EA 5. Item# 12204 ATK500 Clamp, 500ml Infors - Quantity (12) EA 6. Item# 12210 ATK6000 6 L clamp - Quantity (12) EA The Lab investigates the structure and function of membrane proteins. To do that, these membrane proteins need to be produced in large amounts. The first step is to grow cells like E. coli or yeast expressing these proteins. For that a shaker/incubator is essential. The Multitron Incubated shaker has unique advantages. The footprint of the shaker is 42� W x 34� D which fits the allotted assigned lab space. A shaker with a larger footprint would not fit the assigned lab space, thus not of any use to the lab. The Multitron also can hold up to 8 x 4.0L flasks, which is needed for large scale expressions. Each Multitron can shake 19.5kg at maximum speed. The units are stacked and shipped ready to use. Infors has fulltime service personnel available around the country. The Multitron units are currently used in NIH for similar processes. Infors is the sole authorized distributor and manufacturer of the Multitron incubated shaker in the United States. Infors USA, Inc. maintains all proprietary rights to the Multitron incubated shakers. Infors USA does not allow third party companies to distribute or manufacture the Multitron line of shakers. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of the 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1), FAR 6.302.
