- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) located in Ames, IA intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Sartorius Corporation located in Bohemia, NY for an SCP® Speed Cal Permanent brand multi-channel pipette calibration system under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The pipette calibration system is used to support PCR genetic diagnostic techniques critical to quick response during potential animal disease outbreaks. Sartorius Corporation is the only manufacturer known to have a pipette calibration system that has a calibration sensitivity of 2 uL for low-range, 12 channel pipettes. The Sartorius system can also complete a 12 channel pipette calibration in under 4 minutes, and no other known multichannel pipette calibration system operates this quickly. Calibration speed is critical during disease outbreaks. A purchase order valued at $96,400.00 is anticipated with Sartorius Corporation, the sole distributer of the SCP® Speed Cal Permanent brand equipment. This is not a request for quote, and no formal solicitation will be issued. This notice is for informational purposes only. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Anyone interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide an equivalent multichannel pipette calibration system in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to michael.j.chiodi@aphis.usda.gov. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 1:00 pm central time, June 24, 2014.
