- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The National Cancer Institute intends to procure the services of the Battelle Memorial Institute, 505 King Avenue, Columbus, OH 43201 for this new requirement. The sole source acquisition is justified under the statutory authority contained in 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) and the following authority contemplated by FAR 6.302-1 (a) (2). “When supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.” We could not locate another contractor with validated experience and security clearance in the very specific process of performing an aerosol spore challenge of Bacillus anthracis that is classified as a Category A human pathogen and is subject to strict Federal Control measures. Battelle Labs in Columbus, OH is the only place capable of performing the work of the SOW (investigating an NCI vaccine candidate against anthrax in a BSL-3 facility capable of handling aerosol anthrax) in a testing facility that meets government and safety requirements, and where the results will be interpretable with prior data and thus satisfactorily meet the government’s objectives. Battelle lab has limited space for rabbit experiments of the type required by this SOW, and research facilities from across the country are requesting use of these particular Battelle facilities.
