The period of service is January 1, 2015-December 31, 2015 These Flow Cytometers located in F358 and in the Clinical Research Unit at NIEHS were originally purchased and installed by BD Biosciences for fluorescent analysis of cells at the single cell level. The instruments are comprised of multiple components and are extremely precise in the measurement of cell characteristics and populations and require specific technical support to maintain this level of precision. The impact to the Program's mission if Becton Dickinson and Company does not service these instruments would entail the instrument not being usable for scientific research for long periods of time, or being serviced with parts that are not genuine Becton Dickinson parts for these instruments, therefore reducing the quality and performance of the instruments. Becton, Dickinson and Company is the manufacturer and sole distributor of this equipment. No third party companies are allowed to service their equipment. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Purchasing Agent at the address stated above.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 10 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is note advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Becton, Dickinson and Company. The NAICS Code /Size is 811219/19.0M.
