In Fiscal Year 2005, purchase order 200-2005-M-13583 was awarded under a competitive solicitation to Interactive Consulting, Spokane, WA. At the onset and prior to development and testing of that initial action, the current requirement could not be anticipated. Enhancing the Nanoparticle Information Library necessitates a working knowledge of the prototype system and a full understanding of how the computer code is designed to drive the system. Both the user interface and the functionality of the interactive database must be reworked to meet the Government?s requirements. Consequently, based upon Interactive Consulting, Inc.?s inherent knowledge of the Nanoparticle Information Library, that would otherwise need to be acquired by other sources resulting in duplicative effort and costs, the Contracting Officer deems there to be a lack of competition and has thus determined Interactive Consulting, Inc. to be the only source reasonably available for this follow-on purchase. Therefore, this presolicitation notice announces the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?s intention to solicit from a single source, Interactive Consulting, Inc. This announcement is not a request for competitive quotations. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by submitting a quotation or other information within 10 days of this notice. Quotations or information submitted shall be considered by the agency solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Any other specific and pertinent information as pertains to this particular area of procurement that would enhance our consideration of the information submitted. NAICS Code is changed to 541511 Responses shall be addressed to the Contracting Officer and received within 10 days from issuance of this revised notice.
