- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NCEZID/DHCPP Branch, 1600 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30333, hereby announces its intent to issue a sole source contract to Salimetrics, LLC, 101 Innovation Blvd., Suite 302, State College, PA 16803 for the purchase of Laboratory Testing Services. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as cited in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). One of the main goals of the Multi-Clinical CFS Study is to better understand the role of stress hormones between fatigued and non-fatigued people. Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system (ANS) testing is required to provide information on the nature of HPA and ANS system responses to different types of stress. The specific testing requested with the samples collected in this study are not available elsewhere. Only Salimetrics can perform both tests on the same samples and its laboratory is accredited by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) of 1988 to perform tests of high complexity as required for this project. Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit their written capabilities statement, proposal or quotation. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within five (5) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. 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. Please forward the capability statement and/or pricing information to the attention of Tonya S. Justice, Contract Specialist, Reference #2013-M-55204, Centers for Disease Control, Procurement and Grants Office, MS K-94, 2877 Brandywine Road, Atlanta, GA 30341; or via email at TJustice@cdc.gov. All vendors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to an award of a federal contract. The website is: www.sam.gov. If no affirmative responses are received within 5 days, negotiations will be conducted with Salimetrics, LLC, as the only source and a contract will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
