- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is FDA-SOL-07-00304. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-18. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is-334516- Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees. The Food and Drug Administration is soliciting for one (1) multidetection microplate/cuvette reader with the following specs: 1. Dual-monochromator with dual-mode built-in cuvette ports and top reading microplate drawer. Dual mode (fluorescence & absorbance) reading in cuvette port and in 6- to 384- well microplate. 2. Detection modalities absorbance (UV-Vis Abs) wavelength range 200-1000 nm and fluorescence intensity (FI) wavelength range 360-850nm, luminescence wavelength range 360-850 nm and TRF wavelength range (360-850 nm). 3. Must have a 4 nm absorbance bandwidth for superior peak resolution and increased accuracy of measurements for narrow bandwidth samples. 4. Must read up to four EX/EM wavelength pairs per microplate for multi-fluorophore assay design. 5. Must have full wavelength scanning capability across the entire spectral range for defining actual EX and EM maxima. Can perform spectral scans in user-defined increments as small as 1 nm, and then can select assay wavelengths. 6. Must have Automatic PMT setting to adjust the optimum voltage for each well sample concentration and then normalizes the raw data to show RFU values. Wells are selectively reread at the optimal PMT setting 7. Tunable wavelength selection. Built-in cuvette port and microplate drawer. 8. Must read absorbance in standard, commercially-available cuvettes and microcuvettes, 12 x 75 mm test tubes, and 96- or 384-microplates with a built-in cuvette port and a microplate drawer in the reader and performed with a single wavelength selection. 9. Endpoint/kinetic/spectral scanning (UV/visible and fluorescence) modes. 10. Must have the PathCheck Sensor that measures optical path length (depth) of samples in a microplate. Software should automatically normalize well absorbance to a cuvette equivalent path length of 1 cm. Additionally, the software must be able to auto save multiple copies of assay data in TXT, XML, and PDF formats. 11. Must offer compliance support tools including: a Software validation package b IQ/OQ/PQ documentation c Physical validation test plates for absorbance and fluorescence 12. Must ship with software that provides microplate reader data acquisition and analysis support. Software should have read-to-run protocols for a variety of common assay applications 13. Thermal regulation from ambient +4 0C to 45 OC. speed read mode capabilities to read 96 well in 5 seconds and 384 wells in 16 seconds. 14. Multi-channel optical design of 9 sample and 9 reference detectors that mimic a dual beam spectrophotometer. 15. Robotic Compatibility Contract Type: Commercial Item-Firm Fixed Price. Simplified acquisition procedures will be utilized. FOB Point destination. To be delivered 45 days or less after receipt of order (ARO). FOB Point of Delivery for Services and Supplies will be the FDA/NCTR located at 3900 NCTR Road, Jefferson, AR 72079-9502. Payment terms net 30 days. The provision at FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items applies to this solicitation. The following addenda have been attached to this provision: None The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items is applicable to this solicitation. The specific evaluation criteria to be included in paragraph (1) of that provision are as follows: (i)Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement. (ii) price. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Technical acceptability will be determined by review of information submitted by the offeror which must provide a description in sufficient detail to show that the product offered meets the Government's requirement. The government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material necessary for the government to determine whether the product meets the technical requirements. Offerors shall include technical specifications, descriptive material, literature, brochures and other information corresponding to each minimum required item, which demonstrates the capabilities of the offerors equipment. If the vendor proposes to modify a product so as to make it conform to the requirement of this solicitation the vendor shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications. The government reserves the right to make an award without discussions. The Provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. If offerors are not registered via the ORCA website at http://orca.bpn.gov, offerors shall complete and return a copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items with their offer. If the end product(s) offered is other than domestic end product(s) as defined in the clause entitled "Buy American Act -- Supplies," the offeror shall so state and shall list the country of origin. The clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following agenda have been attached to the clause. None. The clause at FAR 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statues or Executive Orders-Commercial Items applies to this acquisition. The following additional FAR clauses cited in this clause are applicable: 52.222-3, 52.222-19, 52.222-21, 52.222-26, 52.222-36, 52.225-1, 52.225-13, 52.232-33 and 52.232-34 Clauses and provisions are incorporated by reference and apply to this acquisition.
