- Description
- This is a notice of intent to award as a sole source requirement to Olympus America Incorporated. This procurement will include the Olympus BX51 POL Upright Research Microscope and Olympus SZX16 Research Stereomicroscope with Olympus DP72 12.5 Megapixel Color Microscope Camera System. This proposed contract action is for a supply for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all proposals received by the closing date and time will be considered. A determination by the government not to compete this 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 a competitive procurement. Any company who believes that they can provide the required supply should e-mail their company's capability information to the attention of Barbara Wilson no later than 11:00 a.m. EST, April 9, 2010 at barbara.b.wilson@dhs.gov. Only e-mail responses will be accepted. The following sole source justification is provided: The Olympus digital camera, stereo microscope and polarized microscope are for research grade microscopic analysis. These microscopes provide longer work distance and higher resolution. Additionally, this microscope will be used in the new satelite lab which is at a separate location from the main lab. The satelite lab needs its own equipment for performing microscopic material identification and construction analysis on site. The main lab has similar equipment. Therefore, the analysts are familiar with their operation and maintenance. Also, the parts and accessories are interchangeable with microscopes in the main lab in case of breakdowns. Olympus does not make an adaptor to fit their digital camera into other brands of equipment.
