- 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 Becton, Dickinson, and Company, with an address at One Becton Drive, Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)�s Laboratory of Immunoregulation (LIR) (collectively �Program�) is researching to understand the pandemic emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the mechanisms by which it modulates host cell responses and induces severe inflammation. Overall, the project aims to enhance the �understanding of viral egress from infected cells and shed light on the mechanisms through which SARS-CoV-2 subverts and manipulates the innate immune response. Program has been using Becton Dickinson�s FACSCelesta equipment to help accomplish its research. Program currently requires additional upgrades/add-on components to their FACSCelesta equipment � including the BD FACSCelesta SORP Option (part# 665785, Small particle side scatter detector, computer, and software) and BD FACSCelesta HTS (part # 658946, High Throughput Sampler). These additional equipment upgrades/add ons incorporate new technologies and advancements that will be important for research by helping allow new analyzation/detection and/or processing and analyzation of more samples at a faster rate. Program has compatibility requirements to use this specific brand of upgrades/add-on components. These items are for a BD FACSCelesta SORP flow cytometer system that has been purchased by Program for its research. The BD FACSCelesta SORP system from BD fulfilled Program�s technical requirements and has a compact size of the system solved Program�s laboratory space problem. Program needs to attach BD small particle detectors to it so program can independently detect large and small particles for its research. This will allow laboratories to perform exploratory experiments without tying up free-standing cell analyzers needed for more complex, longer lead-time experiments. Program also needs to attach BD High Throughput Samplers (HTS) to increase analyzation of samples. Only Becton, Dickinson, and Company sells this small particular detector and HTS components for the BD Faceless SORP flow cytometer, and only these BD parts can be attached to the FACSCelesta SORP flow cytometer that the Program current has. Components manufactured by other companies would not be compatible with this BD system. If Program were to purchase a different model of detector and/or HTS from another company, then Program would have to buy an entirely new flow cytometer system that is compatible with that other model. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has a requirement for the following: 1. Item#: 665785; Description: BD FACSCelesta SORP Option; Qty x1 2. Item#: 658946; Description: BD FACSCelesta HTS; Qty x1 3. Shipping & Handling shall be included in the price. Place of Performance or Delivery: Delivery within twelve (12) weeks after receipt of order at Bethesda, MD 20892. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (a) (1) 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 the required may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-NIAID-23-2174989) by 4:00 pm eastern standard time on May 24, 2023.� 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.
