- Description
- This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (CC) intends to award a fixed price purchase order to Life Technologies Carlsbad, CA 92008-7321 on a sole source basis to procure the Ion Chef TM system that will replace two existing government owned instruments the Life Technologies OT2 and One Touch ES units that will serve as trade-ins for this procurement. Protocols and quality controls have been established on the existing instrumentation; any changes to the existing methodology would necessitate additional quality control mechanisms that could cause cancellation or delay of patient protocols for the Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM). Life Technologies is the sole manufacturer and trademark holder of the Ion Chef TM that provides automated, high-throughput template preparation and reproducible chip loading for users at any experience level. The Ion Chef TM will be used to simplify workflow and prepare samples to run on the existing Life Technologies Ion Torrent PGM TM for DNA sequencing. The Ion Chef TM system is the only known instrumentation that will work with and meet the unique specifications of the existing government owned testing instrument. This acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the acquisition of commercial items prescribed in FAR Part 12, in conjunction with the policies and procedures for the competition requirements of Part 6. 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. Questions or comments referencing this posting number may be submitted to the CC, Office of Purchasing and Contracts, prior to the closing date specified in this announcement, electronically to the attention of Malinda Dehner, Contract Specialist, dehnerm@cc.nih.gov by the due date and time marked in this notice.
