- Description
- It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to procure nine (9) Fujitsu scanners, on a sole source basis from Relais International, Inc., Ontario, Canada, model fi-4640S with Adrenaline 850s SCSI card, cable and IPC-4 option that must operate within the environment of the Relais System, a document conversion and delivery system. Over 240,000 journal articles and book chapters are scanned annually and converted into an electronic format using the Relais Scanning workstations. The scanners are in a networked environment and must be capable of working with the Relais versions 3.2 and 3.8. Only the staff of Relais International Inc., are in a position to adequately set up these scanners for use at NLM. Part of the process includes modifying each scanner to remove the lids to convert them to flatbed. The Relais System is a proprietary product of Relais International, Inc. Since Relais International, Inc. is the sole owner of the Relais System, NLM has determined that Relais International, Inc., is the only source with the previous experience and expertise capable of modifying the scanners to a flatbed and ensuring that the hardware works with the Relais system, versions 3.2 and 3.8. The proposed acquisition will be procured under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items. This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ), nor is an RFQ available, however, all responsive sources may submit a proposal in a timely manner which will be considered by NLM. Firms interested in responding to the notice must be able to provide the equipment and services as specified above. Responses must be in writing and must be received in the office within fifteen (15) calendar days from the publication date of this notice. Proposal must include pricing information and staffing criteria. Inquires regarding this procurement may be made to the National Library of Medicine, Office of Acquisitions Management, 8600 Rockville Pike, Building 38A, Room B1N20, Bethesda, Maryland 20894, Attention: Uyen H. Phuong, Lead Purchasing Agent, on (301) 496-6127. Fax requests WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
