The CDC intent is to sole source the following requirement to the ASD, Inc. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516. The purpose of this procurement is to procure the instrument specified to insure compatibility with ongoing studies at multiple laboratories (USDA labs in Kansas, research labs in Tanzania and Kenya), continuity of data collected over 5 years in multiple countries, and insures standardization from technicians trained on the use of this current instrument.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted.
