The period of performance is April 1, 2007, or date of award, whichever is later, through March 31, 2008 with an option for four additional years of performance.

The FSC for this is R499 and the NAICS Code is 334516, small business size standard is 500 employees. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order for this requirement. Applera Corp. is the only known source capable of providing the required maintenance. Applera Corp. is the OEM for this equipment. As such they are in possession of all proprietary information to ensure that the maintenance is performed accurately and correctly and all existing equipment warranties are not violated. The government does not have access to this date in order to assure another vendor could perform the required maintenance. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a proposal. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement 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 in the future. Evidence must be provided of ability to perform the required maintenance. Responses to this notice, if any, must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government.
