- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisition (OA) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive sole source basis to COY Laboratory Products Inc., 14500 Coy Drive, Grass Lake, Michigan 49240-9270. The reference number NHLBI-PB-(HL)-2009-154-DDC. The items to be purchased is: (1) Item# 8375095--2 Person Polymer Hypoxic Glove Box with Auto Purge Airlock; (2) Item# 8528110--C02 Control System, Model AC100; (3) Item# 8543100--Humidified Incubation Box (small); (4) Item# SPEC020--Special Polymer Chamber; (5) Item# SPEC021--Special Polymer Chamber; (6) Item# 8400100--Microscope View Port for Polymer/Aluminum; (7) Item# 8513025--Feed Thru Adaptor; and (8) Item# 8537025--Atmosphere Filtration System, Re-circulating. The Government's estimated expected delivery date is 4-6 weeks after receipt of the purchase order. The delivery point is the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Bethesda, Maryland. The sole source determination is based on the fact that COY Laboratory is the only one that custom manufactures hypoxic glove boxes large enough to host an inverted microscope for cell imaging with space left for routine cell culturing and experimental maneuver. COY Laboratory hypoxic glove boxes have several key factors that are designed to maintain suitable cell culture, such as, maintaining constant temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity with a HEPA filter system. The Laboratory of Biochemistry has already been using COY Laboratory’s anaerobic glove box, therefore ensuring that many of the components of both glove boxes will be compatible. This instrument is important in allowing experimental procedures to be done inside the glove box without having to move the cells into room air. Exposure to room air could pose serious problems for doing research on redox-sensitive proteins. Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 339999 All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing, Standard Number Employees is 500. The small business set-aside does not apply. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures, and exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this requirement. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct future competitive procurement. Responses to this announcement, referencing synopsis number NHLBI-PB(HL)-2009-154-DDC maybe submitted to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Consolidated Operations Acquisition Center, Procurement Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6150B, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-7902, Attention Dorothy Maxwell. Response may be submitted electronically to maxwelld@mail.nih.gov. Responses will only be accepted if dated and signed by an authorized company representative. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which if timely received, shall be considered by the agency.
