- Description
- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source contract with TECAN U.S., 9401 Globe Center Drive, STE 140, Morrisville, NC 27560. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 423459, Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers; the size standard is 500 employees. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to award a non-competitive, sole source contract to TECAN U.S., 9401 Globe Center Drive, STE 140, Morrisville, NC 27560 for Short Low Volume Tips. Services are being procured under FAR 13.5, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The FBI Laboratory currently has Tecan robots in its inventory. The Tecan robotic systems currently perform the processing of all submitted DNA samples. The Tecan robotic systems are critical in getting the plates processed and onto the genetic analyzers so the data may be reviewed for upload. The Teflon coated steel tips that are manufactured and only sold by Tecan are required for the automation process. The size specifications for the Short Low Volume Tips are critical for the current FBI robotic platform. Changing to another manufacturer would change the size and performance of the tips, which would require re-validation of the entire FBI robotic platform that could take months or even years. Tecan U.S. is the only vendor that is capable of meeting the unique requirements of the FBI. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement to this office by 08:00 am, EST, June 09, 2014, by email to the attention of Jerry Varnell, Contract Specialist, at Jerry.Varnell@ic.fbi.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Vendors must be registered in SAM, effective July 29, 2012 to receive government contracts. The FBI uses a financial system that has a direct interface with SAM. Please ensure that your company's SAM information is updated and accurate. This includes TIN, EFT, DUNS, addresses and contact information. The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be what the FBI uses to process payment to your organization.
