- Description
- The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), Fort Detrick, MD intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Roche Diagnostics Corporation. Roche Diagnostics is the sole manufacturer of the LightCycler 480 Real-Time PCR 96-well System II that has already been validated by U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in research activities. The assays that have already been completed would need to be re-evaluated if another machine were to be acquired which would amount in large amounts of time and money wasted. The FDA approval process would also be jeopardized if another machine were to be used. The LightCycler machine is the only machines that can be used in ensure conformity and congruity to the diagnostics testing currently in place at USAMRIID. This notice of intent is for information purposes only, therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. All sources eligible to provide this service must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within 15 days, 11 June 2013, after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this award is to be sent to roman.e.laterza.civ@mail.mil.
