- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc., Shelton, CT 06484, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This purchase is for the following items:1) NEL580001EA- (100 ea)-Cyanine-3-CTP, 100nmol in 101 TE buffer. The use of the PerkinElmer Cy3-3-CTP allows the NIEHS Microarray Core (NMC) to provide the Institute with high quality data using the latest in genomics technology. The labeling and hybridization reactions performed in the NMC require the use of Cyanine-3-CTP. Perkin Elmer CY3-3-CTP is highly sensitive, photo stable, water soluble and exhibit little non-specific binding. All scanners in the Microarray Group have been calibrated to operate with this fluorescent nucleotides, thus continuity in the chemistry of these fluorescent nucleotides must remain consistent. These reagents must be compatible with the reagents already in use in the lab to ensure the NMC to operate at optimal levels and generate data comparable to what has been historically produced. PerkinElmer is the manufacturer and sole distributor of these reagents. Ordering from another source would compromise experiments and compromise the integrity of data. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Purchasing Agent at the address stated below. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 10 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 10 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with PerkinElmer, Inc. The NAICS Code/Size is 325998/500 EMP. This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition threshold of $150,000. There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Valarie Sims via email sims3@niehs.nih.gov.*****
