- Description
- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Laboratory Science, intends to award a sole source contract to Spark Holland, Inc/Ichrom Solutions, 186 Mantoloking Road, Suite #7, Brick, NJ 08723-5888 for the Maintenance of the Spark Holland Instruments. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The period of performance for this procurement is a 8 month base period and four 12 month options. The purpose of this procurement is for Spark Holland to provide annual preventative maintenance service as well as emergency on-site support in the event the instruments fail to work properly. The Symbiosis Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) unit require extensive programming capable of automatically exchanging the SPE cartridges in a way that is completely synchronized with the operation of the system pump and mass spectrometer data collection. Spark Holland is the only responsible source capable of meeting all of the Government's requirement because they are the original equipment manufacture of the instruments and they are the only company capable of maintaining the systems. The Spark Holland trained engineers periodically receive service information and updates often consisting of compilation of recent problems and suggested methods of correction. These service information reports are only distributed to the personnel trained and actively employed by Spark Holland. The exchange of cartridges is needed to ensure validity of the analytical results because of the complexity of the serum matrix. The equipment provides an on-line solid phase extraction. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to the Spark Holland. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit their capabilities/qualifications to provide the services to Richard Jenkins via email ONLY at RJenkins@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2011-N-13394 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN April 27, 2011. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action will be based on responses to this notice and are solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
