- Description
- The VA Great Lakes Acquisition Center intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Cytyc for a Cellient cell block system. To the best of our knowledge Cytyc is the only manufacturer of an automated cell block preparation system that fully automates the preparation of a cytopathology cell block with little or no operator dependency. The instrumentation improves the capture of all cellular components while maintaining the cellular architecture. The processing time is 45 minutes or less, thus offering the same day turnaround. This procurement is being conducted in accordance FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. Contract is firm fixed price and the NAICS Code is 339112. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitations documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, if a firm believes it can meet the requirements it must furnish information about its products and services, as well as references from other customers who are using these products and service, to the Contracting Officer within (8) calendar days from the date of publication of this synopsis. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement. Information must be sent to the Contracting Officer, VAMC GLAC, 5000 W. National Ave Bldg. 5, Milwaukee WI 53295 or via fax to (414) 902-5440. Responses received will be evaluated however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the GLAC will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Cytyc.
