- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Sigma Aldrich for 8 Stable isotope materials. Isotec, Inc. (Sigma Aldrich) provides the products that meet our required quality specifications and allow us to be compliant with CLIA regulations and CDC policies. Thus, based on past performance, purchasing the same materials that we have used in the past will allow for continuity of the project, ease of use, meet our time constraints, and contribute to the quality of our ongoing research. Problems that can arise during synthesis and purification will be avoided by purchasing materials that are already in stock. C13 stable isotope standards for fatty acids require that they be custom made within the specified time and at the required purity level. The manufacturing of such compounds is a very complicated process, which requires a highly skilled synthetic chemist to make these compounds. These products can be provided by this vendor in a timely manner since they have a chemist on staff to perform the synthesis. These materials are already known to meet our purity and isotopic labelling requirements. Since these materials are already prepared, there are no concerns about meeting timelines, and the purity and isotopic labelling are known to meet the project needs. 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. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within ten (10) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at vwl0@cdc.gov by 2:00 P.M. EST., August 21, 2014. FAR REFERENCE: FAR 5.207- Preparation and transmittal of synopses under (c)(15), (c)(16) (i), and (c)(16)(ii).
