The government intends to award a fixed price purchase order with one twelve (12) month base period and four (4) consecutive option periods to Biofire Diagnostics, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, 84108. The Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) at National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (CC), Bethesda, MD has a requirement to procure the below supply and quantity: Item Number: RFIT-ASY-0105 or equivalent if upgraded product Description: Film Array (FA) Respiratory Panels/Kit (30/units) Unit of Issue: Package Quantity: it is estimated that the delivered quantity is 96 kits annually. The government reserves the right to increase quantities pursuant to FAR 52.217-6, Option for Increased Quantity. The CC is a clinical research hospital providing medical services for patients participating in human research protocols of the NIH. The CC provides patient care facilities and services for clinical investigations by the NIH Institutes, research in related areas, and other training programs. The Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) and its Microbiology section supports this critical patient care mission through analysis/sampling of laboratory specimens generated from these research protocols. The FilmArray Respiratory Panel is a multi-plexed nucleic acid test intended for use with the Biofire Diagnostics Film Array Instrument for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple respiratory viral nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs obtained from individuals. Biofire Diagnostics, Inc is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the above-referenced respiratory panels which are used to help diagnose and treat patient disease in the Microbiology section of DLM. These panels are specific for the existing instruments (Idaho Technology Film Array Instrument, Serial Number 1182, and 2318). There are no other known manufacturers that can provide the proprietary cartridges, and no other known reagents that will fit the existing instrumentation. This acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the authority of the test program for commercial items prescribed in FAR Subpart 13.5. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this posting. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
