The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) intends to award one to four purchase orders for the lease, with an option to buy, of an infrared thermal detection system. These infrared thermal detection systems will be used in an evaluation to determine their reliability in measuring body temperatures as well as their precision and accuracy in comparison to the traditional oral method of measurement in a clinical setting. This requirement is available for full and open competition. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 500 employees.

Offerors are advised that in the evaluation process, technical is more important than cost/price. The trade off process described in FAR 15.101-1 may be employed. This process permits tradeoffs among cost/price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced or highest technically rated offeror. Further, the system specifications established in the Statement of Work are the minimum required and proposals will be evaluated based on meeting and/or exceeding these minimum requirements.
