- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Chemical Sciences Division, Material Measurement Laboratory, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with IsoSciences, LLC, 1017 W. Ninth Ave, King of Prussia, PA 19406-1207, for the purchase of 40 mg (24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (Lot SJ4-2013-095A1), located at NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD. Sole Source determination is based on the following: The Organic Chemical Metrology Group within the Chemical Sciences Division at NIST is responsible for chemical measurements in a broad range of areas, including the development of reference materials to support accuracy and comparability of clinical laboratory assays for nutritional status markers. Vitamin D metabolites are currently of tremendous interest because of ongoing research into the role of vitamin D in good health. NIST measurements require calibration using chemical standards of high purity in order to avoid potential measurement bias. In order to meet these measurement needs, NIST requires 40 mg of high purity chemical standard for one of the vitamin D metabolites. NIST has synthesized a lot of (24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 named SJ4-2013-095A1 which has the purity required by NIST. Partial purity assessments have been performed at NIST on this lot SJ4-2013-095A1 of material for correction of measurement results, and partial measurements have been completed using this lot of material for calibration. An additional 40 mg of the same lot SJ4-2013-095A1 of (24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is required to complete the purity assessments and certification measurements for Standard Reference Material (SRM) 972a and SRM 2973. IsoSciences LLC is the only vendor capable of providing the required 40 mg of the same lot SJ4-2013-095A1 of (24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 that meets the Government's minimum requirements. IsoSciences LLC is the sole U.S. distributor and manufacturer. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 325998, and the size standard is 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by August 12, 2013, 3:30 p.m. EST. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition 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.
