- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to be used for ordering Elisa-Tek cooked meat species kits for Beef, Pork, Deer, Sheep and Horse. Elisa Technologies Inc is the only known source which can provide the required cooked species kits. The required kits are USDA method specific; the protocol used for these kits is outlined in the USDA/FSIS Microbiology Lab Guidebook found at the following internet address: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ophs/microlab/m1g17.02.pdf USDA, FSIS has performed extensive validation on these kits and has identified Elisa Technologies as the only company that included controls that are individual species antibodies with each kit instead of all inclusive species antibodies. To further explain, the controls are specific to each kit (example: The deer control is for the deer kit, and the beef control is for the beef kit, etc.) instead of having one general control applicable to each type of kit. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. Authority: 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1). These kits will be shipped to our Eastern Lab which is located in Athens, GA. It is anticipated that this procurement will be conducted as a Commercial Item acquisition under FAR part 12. It is also anticipated that an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be awarded and the period of performance will be for a 12 month base period plus four (4) additional 12 month option periods. This is not a request for quotation or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation. Request for copies of this solicitation will not be honored or acknowledged. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The Government does not intend to pay for information received. All interested parties must respond within (7) calendar days from the date of this notice. Written responses must provide clear and concise documentation indicating your firm's capability to provide the species kits listed above. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. When responding to this announcement, respondents should refer to Announcement # FSIS-11-B-11. If after June 09, 2011, if no viable responses are received in response to this announcement, USDA/FSIS shall negotiate solely with Elisa Technologies, Inc.
