- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Division of Research Safety, Protective Technology Branch 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, WV, hereby announces its intent to issue a purchase order to SRI International for development of "field demonstration" prototype of electro adhesion device for improving extension ladder stability - second stage. This procurement is to develop a "field demonstration" prototype of an electro adhesion (EA) device for improving extension ladder stability, and to acquire feedback from user groups and ladder companies about adoption strategies. At this (second) phase of development, the work will be directed to improve the ruggedness/durability of the EA device, optimize its dimensions, allow quick and easy attachment, and provide automatic activation. The EA device will have to accommodate support surfaces (vertical walls and horizontal floors) within a wide range of material characteristics. Based on the NIOSH-specified technical requirements, SRI International will develop improved prototypes of EA pads and the associated control circuits. Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the posting date of this notice, their written capabilities statement and pricing information in the format they choose, not to exceed 10 pages. Please forward the capability statement and pricing information to Rebecca Mullenax, Purchasing Agent, Reference 000HCCJC-2010-81976, Centers for Disease Control, NIOSH, ATTN: Rebecca Mullenax GS: GD, 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, WV 26505. All vendors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) prior to an award of a federal contract. The website is: www.ccr.gov. The Government will review any/all capabilities statements and pricing information submitted and determine if other qualified sources do exist that could provide this requirement. Information received in response to this announcement will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), negotiations will be conducted with SRI International, 333 Ravenswood Avenue, Menlo Park, CA 94025-3453 as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
