The incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-68, dated June 26, 2013. This acquisition will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and is not a small business set-aside, however small disadvantage, minority, veteran owned and HUB zone companies, etc., are encourage in submitting a proposal. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334517, which has a size standard of 500. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to procure an automated system for the extraction of RNA and DNA from multiple samples on a sole source from BioMerieux. NIAID requires one (1) each of the NucliSENS easyMAG System, #280140, and plus Freight. This equipment will be used to evaluate clinical specimens from vaccine trials. This equipment is essential for expediting the development of vaccines that are needed for the general public worldwide. The system has unique features that make it particularly well-suited for the work described above: (1) ability to handle large volumes of specimen (up to 1 mL), (2) minimal hands-on time (15 minutes) for processing up to 24 samples, and (3) rapid turn-around time (60 minutes for 24 specimens). Other automated extraction systems will not allow for extraction of 1 mL volumes in up to 24 specimens, but this large volume capacity is needed to ensure maximal sensitivity of the qPCR assays. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1) capability to meet required specifications, 2) price, and 3) delivery. Delivery shall be 60 days after receipt of award to Baltimore, Maryland, 21205. The government will award a fixed price purchase order to the responsible contractor.
