- Description
- Redacted SSJ This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source purchase order and is not a request for competitive proposals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ONDIEH/NCEH hereby announces its intent to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to PerkinElmer Health Sciences for the procurement of Panthera-Puncher 9dried sample punching device and two puncher heads. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as cited in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). PerkinElmer provides the only automated blood spot punching instrument that can meet our program needs. We process tens of thousands of dried blood spot quality assurance materials each year and we need automated punching for speed, accuracy and to avoid repetitive motion injuries. We must replace existing equipment and need an instrument that has 1) laser-guided camera optics for punching accuracy, 2) punches into a minimum of two micro-well plates at one time, 3) punches into standard 96-well plates in addition to deep-well plates, 4) holds two punch heads so plates requiring different blood spot disk sizes can be punched simultaneously without having to manually change the punch head, and 5) minimizes static electricity by ionizer module built into the punch area so that blood spot disks do not fly off the platform. Only PerkinElmer Panthera Puncher 9 meets all of our requirements. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. Interested parties who feel they possess the expertise, experience and ability should submit a capabilities statement to Tonya S. Justice, Contract Specialist, via email at TJustice@cdc.gov. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, however, the Government shall consider all responses received within ten (10) days of this posting, in accordance with FAR 5.203 (A)(1). If no affirmative responses are received within ten (10) days, negotiations will be conducted with PerkinElmer as the only source and a contract will be issued. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract, based upon responses to this notification, is solely within the discretion of the government and Contracting Officer. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. FAR REFERENCE: FAR 5.207- Preparation and transmittal of synopses under (c)(15), (c)(16) (i), and (c)(16)(ii).
