Description

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Clontech Laboratories, Palo Alto, CA 94303 for various Atlas arrays and Atlas Image software. The Atlas arrays are more specifically described as Rat Tox II, Mouse Cancer 1.2, Mouse 1.2, Human Tox, Human Cancer, and Rat Tox 1.2. Delivery is required within 30 days after receipt of order, fob destination to Research Triangle Park, NC. EPA believes that Clontech is the only vendor capable of satisfying the requirement. The circumstance permitting "other than full and open competition" is FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or service will satisfy agency requirements". All interested parties who believe they can provide the required items should submit a written proposal with 15 days from the date of this announcement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 422690, which has a size standard of 100 employees to qualify as a small business, is applicable. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to provide the aforementioned data but instead choosing to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will be ignored. Submit response to US EPA, Attn: Jennifer Hill (MD-33), Contracts Management Division, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. No telephonic or faxed request will be honored.
