- Sole Source - Thin Prep 2000 The VA Healthcare Network Upstate New York, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Hologic Incorporated of Bedford MA for two Thin Prep 2000 Processors, one for delivery to the Stratton VA Medical Center, Albany NY, 12208 and the other for delivery to Western New York Healthcare System, Buffalo, NY 14215. This is a one-time equipment buy. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with 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. The processor must be FDA approved for both gynecologic cytology slide preparation and whose collection medium is FDA approved for Human Papillomarvirus (HPV) DNA studies. The equipment must allow for testing of both from one vial if necessary. To the best of our knowledge, Hologic is the only vendor who has equipment which is FDA approved as indicated above. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. No solicitation document is 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 reference from other customers who are using these products and services, to the Contracting Officer by the close of business on 9/2/2008. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail, to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. Information can be sent to the Contracting Officer, VA Healthcare Network Upstate NY, 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14215 or via fax to (716) 862-8893. 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 not responses are received, the VA Healthcare Network Upstate New York will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Hologic Incorporated.
