- Description
- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Emergency Response Service Center in Washington, D.C. on behalf of the Office of Research and Devlopment in Cincinnati, OH and under the Authority of FAR Part 6.302 intends to award a sole source procurement to Abcam, Inc in the amount of $13,928.17 for the purchase of antibodies and proteins. The NAICS Code for this procurement shall be: 325414. While the EPA is aware of other vendors who offer the same items at comparable prices, the EPA is in the middle of a development phase and has consistently used Abcam throughout this phase. Although in some cases similar antibodies and proteins to the ones offered by Abcam are made by other vendors, each company makes a unique product such that switching vendors in the middle of a development phase would require each assay to be re-optimized. To change vendors in mid-stream would cause a significant cost as well as time and effort in re-developing reagent consistency. It has t herefore been determined that it is in the best interest of the Government to stay with Abcam, Inc during the development phase to avoid aforementioned issues. This notice is not a request for quote. All responses regarding this notice must be received in writing via email to: scott.elaine@epa.gov or by US Postal Service to: U.S. EPA, Attn: Elaine Scott, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW Mail Code:3805R, Washington, DC 20460 no later than Friday May 2, 2014 5:00pm, EST. No phone calls will be accepted. The determination not to compete this requirement is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
