- Description
- Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for a one-time purchase with NanoCellect Biomedical, Inc., 9525 Towne Centre Dr Ste 150, San Diego, CA, 92121-2066, for the NanoCellect WOLF and WOLF G2 cells sorters This is highly specialized equipment providing benchtop cell sorting. The disposable, microfluidic-based sorting technology enables gentle bulk or single cell sorting in a disposable and sterile consumable. The N1 Single-Cell dispenser accessory allows for single cell dispensing into 96- or 384-well plates when using the WOLF with the N1 Single-Cell Dispenser. This requirement is for the VA Connecticut Healthcare System, Research Office, 950 Campbell Ave, Building 34, West Haven CT 06516. NanoCellect Biomedical, Inc., is the OEM for the WOLF and WOLF G2 cells sorters. Nanocellect Biomedical Inc. offers the WOLF cell sorter instrument that utilizes a low pressure fluid path that greatly reduces the cell stress during the sorting procedure. All the cell detection and characterization functions use optics that are functionally equivalent to standard FACS instruments allowing for similar subsets of cells to be selected for sorting and collection as reported in the literature. The sorting mechanism can achieve true two-way positive sorting while still collecting all the pass-through cells to be re-run through the sorter utilizing additional criteria. This equipment is the only model with the salient characteristics needed to enhance the on-going research studies. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO). The applicable NAICS code is 334516 with a 1000 employee size standard. The PSC is 6640. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at annmarie.stewart@va.gov regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
