- 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 Institutes of Health, Clinical Center (CC) intends to award a fixed price purchase order to COSMED USA INC, Chicago, IL 60614 on a sole source basis to procure the COSMED USA QUARK RMR metabolic monitor. This requirement is to provide clinical and research support in the area of indirect calorimetry for the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Respiratory Care Section. COSMED USA Inc. is the only known provider of an indirect calorimeter that has been validated with the Sensormedics DeltaTrac II TM to support ongoing research on adult and pediatric patients through the use of the alcohol burn standard. Since the indirect calorimeter will be used to support ongoing research and clinical protocols, the unit must be validated through the use of an alcohol burn procedure. Research is unable to be validated without performing this procedure. 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. 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.
