"(b) Soliciting from a single source. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This announcement constitutes the only notice; proposals are not being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-60, August 27, 2012. The corresponding NAICS code is 541990 - All Other Professional Scientific, and Technical Services and the small business size standard is $7.0 Million. The basis for the sole source determination: The sole source determination is based on the fact that Lonza Walkersville utilizes proprietary methods to produce both motor neurons and dopaminergic neurons derived from pluripotent stem cells. The resulting cell types are the industry standard in terms of purity and functionality. Production of pluripotent stem cell derived cells types is lengthy and complex and the ability to manufacture high quality, homogenous population of desired cell types requires considerable expertise. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement, in writing, no later than the response date. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. Written responses shall reference this Notice of Intent No. NHLBI-CSB-AR-2012-330-CSP and may be submitted electronically NO LATER THAN 9:00 A.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME September 14, 2012 to the Contract Specialist, Caitlin Palmer at: Caitlin.palmer@nih.gov. 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.
