Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-(b) with Calibrant Biosystems of Rockville, MD, to acquire a commercial grade complex polymer micro fluidic device design and fabrication from multiplexed DNA and protein separations.Sole source determination is based on the Government’s need to develop a commercial test system that can be used by crime labs for criminal investigations and a DNA database. Calibrant Biosystems has manufactured commercial-grade polymer-based microfluidic devices and hold several key device patents (US10/15,385,US10/135,386) on complex polymer mirofluidic device design and fabrication for multiplexed DNA and protein separations; which are key factors in the successful development of the desired commercial-grade device technology. The period of performance will be 5 months.No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by February 21, 2005, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (14-FEB-2005); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
