- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located on the National Naval Medical Campus (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Sigma-Aldrich Corporation for fifty (fifty) XP725 Panorama Antibody Microarray – XPRESS Profiler725 Kits. This product will be procured in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12-Commercial Items and FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Sole source determination is made in accordance with: FAR Part 13.106-1 Soliciting Competition (b) Soliciting from a single source (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. USU has been conducting extensive preliminary research of protein samples using these array plates. To switch array plates would change the data results and would render the previously-collected data irrelevant, wasting much time and effort. In addition, the plates must be compatible with Clontech Buffers and measure Caspase 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12 antibodies. The plates must also measure genes associated with radiation injury. Further, they must be able to measure more than 700 proteins in a single analysis. Only Sigma-Aldrich Corporation manufactures array plates that meet these requirements. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide the abovementioned requirement as specified. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses must be received via email ( benjamin.kacher@usuhs.mil ) by 9:00 a.m. EST on July 11, 2011.
