- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Laboratory Sciences intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price maintenance agreement contract to Gilson, Incorporated, 3000 Parmenter Street, Middleton, WI 53562. This contract will be for a base year of 12 months with 4 option years of 12 months each. 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 Division of Laboratory Sciences uses a variety of laboratory equipment manufactured by Gilson, Inc. to accomplish its public health mission. These instruments are used in analyses performed for chemical terrorism and emergency response, and in research and development to establish new analytic methods. As initial warranties expire for purchased instruments, they need to be covered by a maintenance agreement, which provides preventive maintenance and required services to ensure that the instruments are maintained in optimal operating condition and are available to perform required analyses. Gilson, Inc. offers trained and certified technical and scientific staff with field service engineers trained on the Gilson equipment. Additionally, Gilson has prior knowledge and experience in troubleshooting, repairing, and completing preventive maintenance practices for the Gilson equipment. Gilson also has access to technical document updates and factory warrantied repair parts so that in the case of instrument failures, repair and service requests require the least amount of time possible. No solicitation will be posted to FedBizOpps. We will only issue a solicitation to Gilson, Inc. CDC believes that Gilson Inc. is the only source available to provide this service that meets mission critical requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposal. A determination to compete this procurement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Interested parties who believe they possess the capability to satisfy this requirement should submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet this requirement. All responses must be sent in writing to Ms. Alma Barber via email to vel3@cdc.gov using solicitation number 2013-N-15004 in the subject line, no later than 12:00pm Eastern Time, March 14, 2013.
